Settling time delay required before lux read out

I thought so, but in fact you're just delaying the next two lines by
that:

>>+ ddata->power_state = val;
>>+ mutex_unlock(&ddata->lock);

... which doesn't make sense to me.

I can believe there is need to wait for the value to settle, but I think
it's the wrong place where you're doing it currently.


I could move it one line down,  but not really release the mutex.
Which other place would you suggest.
