-Description
------------
-BH1770GLC and SFH7770 are combined ambient light and proximity sensors.
-ALS and proximity parts operates on their own, but they shares common I2C
-interface and interrupt logic. In principle they can run on their own,
-but ALS side results are used to estimate reliability of the proximity sensor.
-
-ALS produces 16 bit lux values. The chip contains interrupt logic to produce
-low and high threshold interrupts.
-
-Proximity part contains IR-led driver up to 3 IR leds. The chip measures
-amount of reflected IR light and produces proximity result. Resolution is
-8 bit. Driver supports only one channel. Driver uses ALS results to estimate
-reliability of the proximity results. Thus ALS is always running while
-proximity detection is needed.
-
-Driver uses threshold interrupts to avoid need for polling the values.
-Proximity low interrupt doesn't exists in the chip. This is simulated
-by using a delayed work. As long as there is proximity threshold above
-interrupts the delayed work is pushed forward. So, when proximity level goes
-below the threshold value, there is no interrupt and the delayed work will
-finally run. This is handled as no proximity indication.
-
-Chip state is controlled via runtime pm framework when enabled in config.
-
-Calibscale factor is used to hide differences between the chips. By default
-value set to neutral state meaning factor of 1.00. To get proper values,
-calibrated source of light is needed as a reference. Calibscale factor is set
-so that measurement produces about the expected lux value.

------
-
-chip_id
- RO - shows detected chip type and version
-
-power_state
- RW - enable / disable chip. Uses counting logic
- 1 enables the chip
- 0 disables the chip
-
-lux0_input
- RO - measured lux value
- sysfs_notify called when threshold interrupt occurs

- trigs an interrupt. 65535 (i.e. sensor_range) disables the above
- interrupt.
-
-lux0_thresh_below_value
- RW - LO level threshold value. All results below the value
- trigs an interrupt. 0 disables the below interrupt.
-
-lux0_calibscale
- RW - calibration value. Set to neutral value by default.
