Hi, Jonathan,
this is the refresh ALS sysfs class driver.
I just introduced one sysfs attribute "illuminance", because
I didn't catch the exact meaning of the others like "infrared".
So it would be great if you can generate an incremental patch
to introduce the other optional attributes needed, and update
the documentation as well. :)
Subject: Introduce ALS sysfs class
ALS sysfs class device provides a standard sysfs interface
for Ambient Light Sensor devices.
Only one sysfs I/F is introduced currently.
/sys/class/als/xxx/illuminance:
indicates the amount of light incident upon a specified surface area.
