Good spot.  It's also a gyroscope, not an accelerometer... I just fixed this
up and repushed out testing.

Good point, when I first read the code I assumed we were moving from an i2c_word
read to a bulk read, thus necessitating this addition.  However, we aren't as it
was previously as an i2c_bulk read of 2 bytes... 

Irina, could you confirm if this was broken before your patches?

I'll leave this as is, perhaps we need an additional fix patch specifying LE to
put out as a fix.
