I don't understand this change. Previously, we assigned retval to ah and
returned AE_OK. Now, we either do not assign retval and still return AE_OK, or
we do assign it and then return AE_CTRL_TERMINATE....

I would have expected to see something more like:

	if (we should setup the accelerometer)
		reval = ah
		return AE_OK
	
	return AE_CTRL_TERMINATE

If I'm misunderstanding this, can you please try to explain - a comment in the
function would be useful.

Thanks,
