It seems fairly reasonable to me. Would other ALS or proximity sensors
need similar properties?

Do you expect certain defaults if not present? Some description of how
all these values are determined would be useful.

What is the size of the array and valid range of values?

Be specific this is 16-bit property.

Be specific this is an 8-bit property.
