The veml6030 is an ambient light sensor from vishay and
is a different hardware from an existing hardware for which
driver currently exist, therefore this driver submission.
* All features; ALS, white channel and power management is
supported.
* All configurable parameters are supported through standard
iio sysfs entries. User space can get valid values of any
parameter (xx_available) and then can write to appropriate
sysfs entry.
* User space can get ALS and White channel readings through RAW
IIO interface.
* IIO events are used to notify application whenever threshold
is crossed. This uses IRQ pin of veml6030.
* Some registers in veml6030 are read only. For these registers
read callback returns error to user space.
