Still no luck, sorry. Light sensors have nothing to do with hardware
monitoring.

I think we need a new subsystem for light sensors. drivers/light maybe?
Or maybe this fits into Jonathan Cameron's industrial I/O subsystem.
Jonathan, what do you think? If not, maybe a more general subsystem for
various sensor types (light, pressure, noise, whatever.)

Me, I don't really care where these drivers go as long as it's not in
drivers/i2c/chips.
