Why? AFAICT, all that is required to pass that IRQ number all the way
down to lis3lv02d is to set the irq field of the struct i2c_board_info
you are passing to i2c_new_device(). And you can extract that IRQ
number e.g. in check_acpi_smo88xx_device(). However, you would then
need to make sure dell-smo8800 does not attempt to request the same IRQ
on whitelisted machines. This got me thinking about a way to somehow
incorporate your changes into dell-smo8800 using Wolfram's bus_notifier
suggestion, but I do not have a working solution for now. What is
tempting about this approach is that you would not have to scan the ACPI
namespace in search of SMO88xx devices, because smo8800_add() is
automatically called for them. However, I fear that the resulting
solution may be more complicated than the one you submitted.

Weird, checkpatch does not protest on my machine when the log message is
written on a single line...

Bingo, it is at 0x1d. I modified your patch to set the i2c address to
0x1d and at least free fall detection seems to be working correctly.
