Subject: Accelerometer lis3lv02d is present on SMBus but its address is
 unknown, skipping registration

Dear Linux folks,


On the Dell Precision 3540, BIOS 1.23.0 12/19/2022, with Debian 
sid/unstable, Linux 6.1.12 logs the warning below:

     Accelerometer lis3lv02d is present on SMBus but its address is 
unknown, skipping registration

This warning was already logged by

     Linux version 5.19.0-2-amd64 (debian-kernel@...ts.debian.org) 
(gcc-11 (Debian 11.3.0-6) 11.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 
2.38.90.20220713) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 5.19.11-1 (2022-09-24)

with firmware BIOS 1.15.0 12/08/2021.

What can a user do about this? It looks like the I2C addresses need to 
be added to `dell_lis3lv02d_devices[]` in `drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.c`.


Kind regards,

Paul
