ALS and proximity -functionality are highly connected. ALS measurement path must be running -while the proximity functionality is enabled. - -ALS produces raw measurement values for two channels: Clear channel -(infrared + visible light) and IR only. However, threshold comparisons happen -using clear channel only. Lux value and the threshold level on the HW -might vary quite much depending the spectrum of the light source. - -Driver makes necessary conversions to both directions so that user handles -only lux values. Lux value is calculated using information from the both -channels. HW threshold level is calculated from the given lux value to match -with current type of the lightning. Sometimes inaccuracy of the estimations -lead to false interrupt, but that doesn't harm. - -ALS contains 4 different gain steps. Driver automatically -selects suitable gain step. After each measurement, reliability of the results -is estimated and new measurement is triggered if necessary. - -Platform data can provide tuned values to the conversion formulas if -values are known. Otherwise plain sensor default values are used. - -Proximity side is little bit simpler. There is no need for complex conversions. -It produces directly usable values. - -Driver controls chip operational state using pm_runtime framework. -Voltage regulators are controlled based on chip operational state. - -SYSFS ------ - - -chip_id - RO - shows detected chip type and version - -power_state - RW - enable / disable chip. Uses counting logic - 1 enables the chip - 0 disables the chip -lux0_input - RO - measured lux value - sysfs_notify called when threshold interrupt occurs - -lux0_sensor_range - RO - lux0_input max value. Actually never reaches since sensor tends - to saturate much before that. Real max value varies depending - on the light spectrum etc. - -lux0_rate - RW - measurement rate in Hz - -lux0_rate_avail - RO - supported measurement rates - -lux0_calibscale - RW - calibration value. Set to neutral value by default. - Output results are multiplied with calibscale / calibscale_default - value. - -lux0_calibscale_default - RO - neutral calibration value - -lux0_thresh_above_value - RW - HI level threshold value. All results above the value - trigs an interrupt. 65535 (i.e. sensor_range) disables the above - interrupt. - -lux0_thresh_below_value - RW - LO level threshold value. All results below the value - trigs an interrupt. 0 disables the below interrupt. - -prox0_raw - RO - measured proximity value - sysfs_notify called when threshold interrupt occurs - -prox0_sensor_range - RO - prox0_raw max value (1023) - -prox0_raw_en - RW - enable / disable proximity - uses counting logic - 1 enables the proximity - 0 disables the proximity - -prox0_reporting_mode - RW - trigger / periodic. In "trigger" mode the driver tells two possible - values: 0 or prox0_sensor_range value. 0 means no proximity, - 1023 means proximity. This causes minimal number of interrupts. - In "periodic" mode the driver reports all values above - prox0_thresh_above. This causes more interrupts, but it can give - _rough_ estimate about the distance. - -prox0_reporting_mode_avail - RO - accepted values to prox0_reporting_mode (trigger, periodic) - -prox0_thresh_above_value - RW - threshold level which trigs proximity events. |
