+What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/proximity_on_chip_ambient_infrared_suppression

+Description:
+ From ISL29018 Data Sheet (FN6619.4, Oct 8, 2012) regarding the
+ infrared suppression:
+
+ Scheme 0, makes full n (4, 8, 12, 16) bits (unsigned) proximity
+ detection. The range of Scheme 0 proximity count is from 0 to
+ 2^n. Logic 1 of this bit, Scheme 1, makes n-1 (3, 7, 11, 15)
+ bits (2's complementary) proximity_less_ambient detection. The
+ range of Scheme 1 proximity count is from -2^(n-1) to 2^(n-1).
+ The sign bit is extended for resolutions less than 16. While
+ Scheme 0 has wider dynamic range, Scheme 1 proximity detection
+ is less affected by the ambient IR noise variation.
