+Description
+-----------
+
+APDS990x is a combined ambient light and proximity sensor. ALS and proximity
+functionality are highly connected. ALS measurement path must be running
+while the proximity functionality is enabled.
+
+ALS produces raw measurement values for two channels: Clear channel
+(infrared + visible light) and IR only. However, threshold comparisons happen
+using clear channel only. Lux value and the threshold level on the HW
+might vary quite much depending the spectrum of the light source.
+
+Driver makes necessary conversions to both directions so that user handles
+only lux values. Lux value is calculated using information from the both
+channels. HW threshold level is calculated from the given lux value to match
+with current type of the lightning. Sometimes inaccuracy of the estimations
+lead to false interrupt, but that doesn't harm.
+
+ALS contains 4 different gain steps. Driver automatically
+selects suitable gain step. After each measurement, reliability of the results
+is estimated and new measurement is triggered if necessary.
+
+Platform data can provide tuned values to the conversion formulas if
+values are known. Otherwise plain sensor default values are used.
+
+Proximity side is little bit simpler. There is no need for complex conversions.
+It produces directly usable values.
+
+Driver controls chip operational state using pm_runtime framework.
+Voltage regulators are controlled based on chip operational state.

+SYSFS
+-----
+
+
+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
+
+lux0_sensor_range
+	RO - lux0_input max value.
+
+	     Actually never reaches since sensor tends
+	     to saturate much before that. Real max value varies depending
+	     on the light spectrum etc.
+
+lux0_rate
+	RW - measurement rate in Hz
+
+lux0_rate_avail
+	RO - supported measurement rates
+
+lux0_calibscale
+	RW - calibration value.
+
+	     Set to neutral value by default.
+	     Output results are multiplied with calibscale / calibscale_default
+	     value.
+
+lux0_calibscale_default
+	RO - neutral calibration value
+
+lux0_thresh_above_value
+	RW - HI level threshold value.
+
+	     All results above the value
+	     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.
+
+prox0_raw
+	RO - measured proximity value
+
+	     sysfs_notify called when threshold interrupt occurs
+
+prox0_sensor_range
+	RO - prox0_raw max value (1023)
+
+prox0_raw_en
+	RW - enable / disable proximity - uses counting logic
+
+	     - 1 enables the proximity
+	     - 0 disables the proximity
+
+prox0_reporting_mode
+	RW - trigger / periodic.
+
+	     In "trigger" mode the driver tells two possible
+	     values: 0 or prox0_sensor_range value. 0 means no proximity,
+	     1023 means proximity. This causes minimal number of interrupts.
+	     In "periodic" mode the driver reports all values above
+	     prox0_thresh_above. This causes more interrupts, but it can give
+	     _rough_ estimate about the distance.
+
+prox0_reporting_mode_avail
+	RO - accepted values to prox0_reporting_mode (trigger, periodic)
+
+prox0_thresh_above_value
+	RW - threshold level which trigs proximity events.
