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

[Darrell Kavanagh]

So does this mean that the least worst (only?) option is to get my
hwdb mount matrix entry added to systemd? I can raise a bug as
suggested in hwdb.d/60-sensor.hwdb if so.
