To be precise, these are the result I get with some additional debug
info, with and without setting BLE.

Setting BLE on init:

[ 2891.428798] lis3lv02d: BLE: 0
[ 2891.452567] lis3lv02d: BLE: 32
[ 2891.476800] lis3lv02d: lo: 0 hi: 1
[ 2891.500616] lis3lv02d: lo: 0 hi: 3
[ 2891.524799] lis3lv02d: lo: 0 hi: 57

Resetting BLE on init:

[ 3006.661279] lis3lv02d: BLE: 0
[ 3006.684574] lis3lv02d: BLE: 0
[ 3006.709107] lis3lv02d: lo: 0 hi: 254
[ 3006.733144] lis3lv02d: lo: 0 hi: 2
[ 3006.757286] lis3lv02d: lo: 0 hi: 56

So it looks like (1) the BLE register is ignored (at least in my
sensor) and (2) it actually defaults to LE anyway.
