  [pnp:8810] cannot be detected at all

  Confirmed

Bug description:

  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:
