Setting <n> to persistence filter would need atleast

Please don't mass document cases unless they are actually in use.  These should
get added as and when they become so.  Often a particular type of event
characteristic is actually only implemented on a small subset of channel types
(where it makes sense).
IMO, persistence filter can be applied for all these cases. But if you think its better to add ABI for what we currently use then I will leave only ALS/proxmity related ABI's here.

This still needs clarification as reading the discussion I'm still a little unsure
what the condition is.  I don't think Lars' original query ever got cleanly answered
Sorry for being unclear. Even in this case, the use case is "number of consecutive" measurement data
outside the range.

Taking just the upper threshold...
The interpretations I can think of are:

1) tsl2591 use case (maps directly to period with the sampling frequency taken into
account).
  - Too much light for N ALS cycling samples.  If it drops below the threshold
    the count is reset.
the tcs part that Daniel referenced is also this use case.
I agree that it can be mapped to _period if you take the sampling frequency into account. But if you do that then it becomes dependent on integration time ( for ALS case). Since _period is calculated based on frequency, each time you change _integration_time then internally you need to change the _period value to keep the ratio constant. Also you need to consider what happens if your frequency > period. I think this makes is bit complicated.

Don't you think its better to add another representation instead of trying to fit it in existing ABI's ?

Following are the persistence filter descriptions from data sheets of tsl2591 and ltr501.

LTR501: " The INTERRUPT PERSIST register controls the N number of times the measurement data is outside the range defined by the upper and lower threshold limits before asserting the INT". TSL2591: " The Interrupt persistence filter sets the number of consecutive out-of-range ALS cycles necessary to generate an interrupt"


2) A new option which doesn't take account of the signal dropping below the threshold.
    So a count of number of times above the threshold.
  i.e. On each cycle, if over threshold, increment N.
       Evaluate if N is greater than 'persistence' then trigger an event.
   Why this would ever make sense on a light sensor is beyond me ;)  but there
   we are.  We have a related abi for in_steps_change_value, which fires
   an event, only every N steps.  It doesn't really adapt to this case though.

   The name persistence is definitely misleading if this is what the liteon parts
   do as that definitely implies case 1).

Welcome to my life, bludgeoning what appears to new ABI into what we already have!
(not a lot of point in standardized ABI otherwise!)
