Re: [PATCH v2] iio: accel: bmc150: Check for a second ACPI device for BOSC0200

[Steven Presser]

All,

I had a chance to sit back down with the machine. I didn't take it all 
the way apart - there are pieces that I'm afraid of breaking without 
directions on how to properly disassemble them.

However, I did recover an exact chip ID - the chips in use are BMA255s 
[1]. Rather than take the machine apart (and because the chips are 
2mmx2mm), I queried the chip over SMBus. On page 50 of the below 
document, you can see that register 0x00 is a read-only chip ID. This 
chipID is unique per Bosch product. So, using SMBus, I asked the chip 
for it's chip ID (0xFA, in this case) and then searched likely products 
until I found the matching chipID.

Does this suffice to settle which chips are in use? If not, I can 
finish taking the machine apart, I'd just prefer to avoid the risk of 
breaking something.

As soon as I finish screwing everything back together, I'll grab the 
other software IDs asked for and build the branch referenced elsewhere.

Steve
