Andy, I'm planning to add more properties but not for now, this driver the
placeholder for upcoming work what I've. And I wanted something like:
rc = vcnl3020_get_and_apply_property(option1);
if (rc)
return rc;
rc = vcnl3020_get_and_apply_property(option2);
if (rc)
return rc;
etc.
And all other work about conversion will be hidden in get_and_apply_property.

I think your approach with wrapper is better, I'll think how I can do that
without additional 'div' param.
Thanks.
