Various Dell laptops have an lis3lv02d freefall/accelerometer sensor.
The lis3lv02d chip has an interrupt line as well as an I2C connection to
the system's main SMBus.
The lis3lv02d is described in the ACPI tables by an SMO88xx ACPI device,
but the SMO88xx ACPI fwnodes are incomplete and only list an IRQ resource.
So far this has been worked around with some SMO88xx specific quirk code
in the generic i2c-i801 driver, but it is not necessary to handle the Dell
specific instantiation of i2c_client-s for SMO88xx ACPI devices there.
The kernel already instantiates platform_device-s for these with an
acpi:SMO88xx modalias. The drivers/platform/x86/dell/dell-smo8800.c
driver binds to this platform device but this only deals with
the interrupt resource. Add a drivers/platform/x86/dell/dell-lis3lv02d.c
which will matches on the same acpi:SMO88xx modaliases and move
the i2c_client instantiation from the generic i2c-i801 driver there.
Moving the i2c_client instantiation has the following advantages:
1. This moves the SMO88xx ACPI device quirk handling away from the generic
i2c-i801 module which is loaded on all Intel x86 machines to a module
which will only be loaded when there is an ACPI SMO88xx device.
2. This removes the duplication of the SMO88xx ACPI Hardware ID (HID) table
between the i2c-i801 and dell-smo8800 drivers.
3. This allows extending the quirk handling by adding new code and related
module parameters to the dell-lis3lv02d driver, without needing to modify
the i2c-i801 code.
