+	  This driver provides support for the LIS3LV02Dx accelerometer connected
+	  via SPI. The accelerometer data is readable via
+	  /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d.
+
+	  This driver also provides an absolute input class device, allowing
+	  the laptop to act as a pinball machine-esque joystick.
+
+	  This driver can also be built as modules.  If so, the core module
+	  will be called lis3lv02d and a specific module for the SPI transport
+	  is called lis3lv02d_spi.
