After some work, I have tested accessing these registers using i2cget 
and i2cset and I can reproduce all the features I have implemented in 
this driver. I think am going to re-implement my calibration procedure 
using i2cget and i2cset in userspace.

I thought it could be a good idea to make this accessible by sysfs 
entries. Since one must read the datasheet for calibrating the 
component, I guess it is not a big deal to have users to find register 
addresses/sizes and write to them using userspace commands instead of 
(over?)simplifying it by providing dedicated sysfs entries.
