+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 only raw measurement values. Further processing is needed
+to get sensible LUX values. Vice versa, HW threshold control has nothing
+to do with LUX values. Threshold detection triggs to raw conversion values.
+Driver makes necessary conversions to both directions so that user handles
+only LUX values. 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 trigged if necessary.
+
+Platform data can provide tuned values to the conversion formulas if
+values are known. Othervise plain sensor default values are used.
+
+Proximity side is little bit simpler. It produces directly usable values.
+
+Driver controls chip operational state using pm_runtime framework.
+Voltage regulators are controlled based on chip operational state.

+Kernel driver bhsfh
+===================

+
+Description
+-----------
+BH1770GLC and SFH7770 (I'm calling them as bhsfh) are combined ambient
+light and proximity sensors. ALS and proximity parts operates on their own,
+but they shares common I2C interface and interrupt logic.
+
+ALS produces 16 bit LUX values. The chip contains interrupt logic to produce
+low and high threshold interrupts.
+
+Proximity part contains IR-led driver up to 3 IR leds. The chip measures
+amount of reflected IR light and produces proximity result. Resolution is
+8 bit. Driver supports only one channel. Driver uses ALS results to estimate
+realibility of the proximity results. Thus ALS is always running while
+proximity detection is needed.
+
+Driver uses threshold interrupts to avoid need for polling the values.
+Proximity low interrupt doesn't exists in the chip. This is simulated
+by using a delayed work.

+
+led_def_curr controls IR led driving current
+glass_attenuation tells darkness of the covering window
+setup / release resources are call back functions for controlling
+interrupt line.
+
+Example:
+static struct bhsfh_platform_data rm680_bhsfh_data = {
+ .led_def_curr = BHSFH_LED_50mA,
+ .glass_attenuation = (16384 * 385) / 100,
+ .setup_resources = bhsfh_setup,
+ .release_resources = bhsfh_release,
+};
+
+glass_attenuation: 385 in above formula means 3.85 in decimal.
+light_above_sensors = light_above_cover_window / 3.85
