[PATCH v5 0/3] Support for Avago APDS9306 Ambient Light Sensor

From: Subhajit Ghosh

Support for Avago APDS9306 Ambient Light Sensor

Driver support for Avago (Broadcom) APDS9306 Ambient Light Sensor.
It has two channels - ALS and CLEAR. The ALS (Ambient Light Sensor)
channel approximates the response of the human-eye providing direct
read out where the output count is proportional to ambient light levels.
It is internally temperature compensated and rejects 50Hz and 60Hz flicker
caused by artificial light sources. Hardware interrupt configuration is
optional. It is a low power device with 20 bit resolution and has
configurable adaptive interrupt mode and interrupt persistence mode.
The device also features inbuilt hardware gain, multiple integration time
selection options and sampling frequency selection options.

This driver also uses the IIO GTS (Gain Time Scale) Helpers Namespace for
Scales, Gains and Integration time implementation.

Following features are supported:
- I2C interface
- 2 channels - als and clear
- Raw data for als and clear channels
- Up to 20 bit resolution
- 20 bit data register for each channel
- Common Configurable items for both channels
- Integration Time
- Scale
- Interrupt (event) interface
- High and Low threshold interrupts for each channel
- Selection of interrupt channels - als or clear
- Selection of interrupt mode - threshold or adaptive
- Level selection for adaptive threshold interrupts
- Persistence (Period) level selection for interrupts

v2 -> v5:
- Bumped up the version:
RFC->v0->v1->v2->v3 (Earlier scheme)
v1->v2->v3->v4->v5 (Scheme after review) (Current scheme)
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231028143631.2545f93e@jic23-huawei/

- Added separate patch to merge schemas for APDS9300 and APDS9906. Added
APDS9306 support on top of that.
