@Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury): Driver which I sent to LKML was only now
pulled by Linus to his tree. So it will be in 3.16 kernel. If you do not
backport it back to trusty kernel, than it will never hit older (<<
3.16) kernels...

Title:
  Dell laptops' ST Microelectronics Free Fall Sensor (accelerometer)
  [pnp:8810] cannot be detected at all

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  CID: 201201-10339 Dell Latitude E6530 [1]
  CID: 201307-13941 Dell Latitude E5440 [2]

  According to the information provided by Dell, these systems should have an accelerometer on the motherboard (Free-Fall sensor), but it cannot be detected at all
  (cannot be found in  /proc/bus/input/devices)

  If using windows, it shows ACPI/SMO8810 in device manager
  If you run "lspnp", you can see: 
  00:0c SMO8810 (unknown)
