Some devices (chromebooks) present the ACPI ALS device but do not have ability to notify when a new sample is present. Add support for software trigger (hrtimer/sysfs-trigger) to allow retrieving samples using iio buffers. The first path fully adds timestamp channel, the second adds a local variable in probe routine and the last one adds trigger support. This patch assumes the patch "iio: set default trig->dev.parent" is applied.
