lis3: update documentation and comments

Most of the documentation and comments were written when the driver was
only supporting one type of chip, only via ACPI/HP. Update the info to
the much clearer understanding that we have now.

 /*
- * The actual chip is STMicroelectronics LIS3LV02DL or LIS3LV02DQ that seems to
- * be connected via SPI. There exists also several similar chips (such as LIS302DL or
- * LIS3L02DQ) and they have slightly different registers, but we can provide a
- * common interface for all of them.
- * They can also be connected via I²C.
+ * This driver tries to support the "digital" accelerometer chips from
+ * STMicroelectronics such as LIS3LV02DL, LIS302DL, LIS3L02DQ, LIS331DL,
+ * LIS35DE, or LIS202DL. They are very similar in terms of programming, with
+ * almost the same registers. In addition to differing on physical properties,
+ * they differ on the number of axes (2/3), precision (8/12 bits), and special
+ * features (freefall detection, click...). Unfortunately, not all the
+ * differences can be probed via a register.
+ * They can be connected either via I²C or SPI.
