Correctness of acpi-als channel mask

Hi,

I have a question regarding the acpi-als driver.

Currently acpi-als uses IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW to report the data coming
from the sensor. However, as per the ACPI specification [1] (section
9.2.2), these values represent the ambient light illuminance expressed
in lux. Wouldn't IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED be more appropriate in this
case as the data are in theory pre-processed by the firmware of the
platform?

Gabriele
