Current Linus mainline has

struct acpi_lis3lv02d adev;
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(adev);

here.

Also, this comment:

/*
 * The sensor can also generate interrupts (DRDY) but it's pretty pointless
 * because their are generated even if the data do not change. So it's better
 * to keep the interrupt for the free-fall event. The values are updated at
 * 40Hz (at the lowest frequency), but as it can be pretty time consuming on
 * some low processor, we poll the sensor only at 20Hz... enough for the
 * joystick.
 */

seems to be describing something which isn't there.
