This is ludicrous. I have no idea who these people are, nor any way to reach them, nor any reason to do so (other than to ask them nicely to release their specs properly next time and stop wasting everybody's time). Since when do we have to ask vendor's permission to run Linux on their hardware?! BTW, the consensus on Google is that the accelerometer is a ADXL320 by Analog Devices, whose specs are at [1], but the driver doesn't care or know about this, since it's talking to the H8S embedded controller which *drives* the accelerometer.
