The idea behind this is be able to do a per-device calibration. The
use case we're thinking is:

1. Read raw measurements from sensor in controlled environment (at
30, 500 and 1000 lux)
2. do some math to calculate the calibration value.
3. write the value to calibscale (in_illuminance_calibscale)
4. read the calibrated measurement (in_illuminance_input)

Regards,
Enric
