Wait a second, that wouldn't work, because we don't get an interrupt
on every ALS/PS
conversion, correct ?

In that case, don't cache the als/ps value in the irq handler, but
read it from the hardware in
ap3216c_read_raw, while holding the mutex.

That would still guard against:
- _LO and _HI getting interleaved
- userspace reading the value in between sending the event, and
clearing the int bit
- the int handler not immediately seeing _thresh_en

Apologies for the confusion :)
