The current implementations are deploying using
"HID_USAGE_SENSOR_LIGHT_ILLUM" usage id 0xD1 for input. So this is
natural to use the same usage id for sensitivity. So patch looks good
to me.

But most implementation choose to use DATA_LIGHT for the sensitivity.
probably referring to change in quantity of light without referring to
area. There are no obvious units specified for DATA_LIGHT in the spec.
