On the Dell Precision 3540/0M14W7, BIOS 1.7.4 05/12/2020, Linux prints
the warning below.
i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: Accelerometer lis3lv02d is present on SMBus but its address is unknown, skipping registration
With the help of Wolfram Sang, the test to probe it on I²C bus 6 at address
0x29 was successful.
$ cd /sys/bus/pci/drivers/i801_smbus/0000:00:1f.4
$ ls -d i2c-?
i2c-6
$ sudo i2cdetect 6
WARNING! This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse!
I will probe file /dev/i2c-6.
I will probe address range 0x08-0x77.

So, the device has that accelerometer. Add the I2C address to the
mapping list.
