"LIS2DS12 is an accelerometer by STMicroelectronics. It is identifiable by
its WhoAmI value 0x43.

Its register interface is not compatible with existing parts. For example: 

- The full-scale values are present in register 0x20, in bits 2 and 3
  (mask 0x0c).

- The full-scale values 2G, 4G, 8G, and 16G correspond to the register
  values 0x00, 0x02, 0x03, 0x01 respectively.

Add the compatible string without any fallback."

Is this good enough?
