The veml6030 is an ambient light sensor from vishay and is a different hardware from an existing hardware for which driver currently exist, therefore this driver submission.
* All features; ALS, white channel and power management is supported.
* All configurable parameters are supported through standard iio sysfs entries. User space can get valid values of any parameter (xx_available) and then can write to appropriate sysfs entry.
* User space can get ALS and White channel readings through RAW IIO interface.
* IIO events are used to notify application whenever threshold is crossed. This uses IRQ pin of veml6030.
* Some registers in veml6030 are read only. For these registers read callback returns error to user space.
There are 2 patches for this submission: [PATCH 1/2] iio: light: add driver for veml6030 ambient light sensor [PATCH 2/2] dt-bindings: iio: light: add veml6030 ALS bindings
Regards, Rishi
