Hi Takashi,
Actually, a similar patch already just landed in linus' tree:
1510dd5954 (lis3lv02d: avoid divide by zero due to unchecked)

However, in the patch applied, the device is disabled (until next 
reboot) while in yours, the sleep is just skipped. Does it work again 
after the read of odr fails? If so, maybe I could improve the current 
version by, after the odr read fails, sleeping a long and safe time and 
then trying to read the odr again. Then if it fails again, we give up, 
otherwise the device can be used again.

Do you have such a device yourself? Could you let me know if after a 
failing read of the odr, the device keeps working?

Cheers,
Éric
