Hello,
> Current description for proximity measurement is ambiguous. While
> the first part says that proximity is measured by observing
> reflectivity, the second part incorrectly infers that reported values
> should behave like a distance.

> This is because of AS3935 lightning sensor which uses the proximity
> API, while not being a true proximity sensor.
