'k, found it on the STMicroelectronics website. Reading the doc about
LIS3LV02DL I see that WHO_AM_I should return 3Ah, but my sensor
returns 3Bh. I'll see if I find the correct datasheet for this one
instead, it might have info about the differences.

One thing that I noticed is that (modulo axis inversion) I'm able to
use the sensor correctly if I set the thing to only use the high byte,
totally discarding the lower byte:
	return *((s8*)(&hi));
Maybe this sensor needs a different setup to return 12 instead of 8
bits of information.
