Agreed, but we get back to the debate of what we should standardise on.
I'd suggest standardising on one of the existing drivers. That way we
have two compliant drivers and only need to change (n-2) others. If we
pick some new standard then we need to change (n) drivers.
Currently this driver follows the same sysfs convention as supported
by isl29003.c in drivers/misc.
