That ffs() was bothering me all these review rounds. Now I got the idea how to
improve

	if (val < 0 || val > 8 || !is_power_of_2(val))
		return -EINVAL;

	return regmap_field_write(data->rf.pers, ilog2(val));

< 0 seems too much to me. If there is disabled runtime PM (and supposedly
device is always on) this prevents from getting events.

With swapped operands it might be easier to follow.

		if (data->ev_en &&
		    (regval & (VEML6031X00_INT_TH_H | VEML6031X00_INT_TH_L))) {

Ditto.

With the above this needs to be conditional like

	if (pm_status > 0)
		pm_runtime_put(dev);

Redundant assignment.

Why is 'val' signed?
