[Lenovo E330, b490s, b580, b90, b490, F230]: Accelerometer is not working

Problem:
Kernel detects presence of accelerometer hardware yet the accelerometer is not functional.

Device:
I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000
N: Name="Acer BMA150 accelerometer"
P: Phys=wmi/input1
S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input3
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=event3 js0
B: PROP=0
B: EV=9
B: ABS=7

Looking in /devices/virtual/input/input3 there should be a position file that relays axis data via x, y, z tilt counters.

For lenovo, it seems the hdaps driver is not longer available, nor is there an opensource equivelant available.
