SubjectRe: Proposed addition to 'IIO interface' for color light sensing devices
Not sure who else would be interested in this discussion so if anyone can cc
any interested parties that would be great! (

Works for me though the formatting of the above is somewhat different from
our current docs...

So these modifiers apply to intensity channels? Colour temp is built from
multiple raw sensors I believe (like illuminance is often done?)
Hence it's another 'virtual' channel we compute?

Fine with me.
