lis3: update documentation and comments

Most of the documentation and comments were written when the driver was
only supporting one type of chip, only via ACPI/HP. Update the info to
the much clearer understanding that we have now.

This driver provides support for the accelerometer found in various HP
laptops sporting the feature officially called "HP Mobile Data
Protection System 3D" or "HP 3D DriveGuard". It detects automatically
laptops with this sensor. Known models (for now the HP 2133, nc6420,
nc2510, nc8510, nc84x0, nw9440 and nx9420) will have their axis
automatically oriented on standard way (eg: you can directly play

This driver provides support for the LIS3LV02Dx accelerometer. In
particular, it can be found in a number of HP laptops, which have the
"Mobile Data Protection System 3D" or "3D DriveGuard" feature. On such
systems the driver should load automatically (via ACPI). The
accelerometer might also be found in other systems, connected via SPI
or I2C. The accelerometer data is readable via
/sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d.
