Adding the driver maintainer (should have been added from the beginning)
to the conversation.
@Christian, could you please confirm this?
Apparently, the optimization to read the color channels without
temperature is not right. I don't have access to the AS7331 at the
moment, but I remember that you could test my patches on your hardware
with an AS73211, so maybe you can confirm whether wrong data is
delivered or not in that case.
Thanks and best regards,
Javier Carrasco
