This is not an unheard of situation unfortunately. Right now I'm
struggling to remember when we last hit this but has definitely come up before.

So I 'think' we are putting the sensor in a free running mode here
and the issue Peter raises is that we can't tell if we have
'fresh' data or not.

For that you can take the approach taken in various sensors which
are on demand triggered - but with a restriction in the minimum time between
readings - this is common in humidity and gas sensors IIRC.

So what you do is record the time of a particular reading and then
check if the new reading is 'too' close to the previous time.  If it is
you sleep a bit.  This is only ever approximate though as with clock
drifts you will eventually either miss a reading or get get a repeat
(just not the vast majority of the time).
Supporting both forms in driver is fine - semantically from a userspace
point of view it won't be able to tell the difference.

Exporting integration time (and being able to control it) is good
but doesn't prevent userspace from ignoring it and getting invalid
data.

Looks like for the proximity we can run it in an ondemand mode
but not the ALS..

Strange question though - what is the mysterious 'white' channel?
