This matches an entry above for type. Don't have separate entries.

Scale on the intensity channel is interesting...  What are the units?
There tend not to be any well defined units for intensity (as opposed
to illuminance).  There may be gain on the signal, but it won't be in untils
that map directly to a scale userspace should apply.  This is one of the
rare reasons for using the HARDWARE_GAIN element of the ABI.

A tricky corner however as relationship between raw value and hardwaregain
is not tightly defined (as it can be really weird!)
Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for taking time for reviewing and clearing all my tiny doubts and
queries especially for the dt and versioning part. Much appreciated.

In the above case, should I not expose scale for the "clear" channel? Rather,
how should I expose the "clear" channel to userspace?

Regards,
Subhajit Ghosh
