Re: Bug#1029850: linux: Driver not loaded for ST Microelectronics LSM6DS3TR-C accelerometer (acpi:SMO8B30:SMO8B30:)

[Darrell Kavanagh]

Finally got a 6.2.0-rc6 kernel built and installed, with the following
patch, and everything is working as expected.

Moving on now to look at Bastien's suggestion.

Thanks,
Darrell
