ltrf216a_set_int_time instad of it_time?  although, ltr501 also uses
"it" instead of "int" on the function name..

This could be rewritten to avoid most of the divisions.

But it also doesn't fit the calculation shown in page 20 on the
datasheet.

I suspect that 8 was calculated from a specific Window Factor (~1.77),
which is specific to one device, but I'm not sure.  The datasheet
formula is:

lux = (ALS_DATA_X * 0.45 * window_factor) / (gain * int_time)

Shouldn't WIN_FAC be a configurable parameter, instead of constant?
