staging: iio: isl29018: add documentation about the infrared suppression
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add documentation from the ISL29018 Data Sheet (FN6619.4, Oct 8, 2012)
about the infrared suppression that can be controlled
with the proximity_on_chip_ambient_infrared_suppression sysfs attribute.

/*
* From ISL29018 Data Sheet (FN6619.4, Oct 8, 2012) regarding the
* infrared suppression:
*
* Proximity Sensing Scheme: Bit 7. This bit programs the function
* of the proximity detection. Logic 0 of this bit, Scheme 0, makes
* full n (4, 8, 12, 16) bits (unsigned) proximity detection. The range
* of Scheme 0 proximity count is from 0 to 2^n. Logic 1 of this bit,
* Scheme 1, makes n-1 (3, 7, 11, 15) bits (2's complementary)
* proximity_less_ambient detection. The range of Scheme 1
* proximity count is from -2^(n-1) to 2^(n-1) . The sign bit is extended
* for resolutions less than 16. While Scheme 0 has wider dynamic
* range, Scheme 1 proximity detection is less affected by the
* ambient IR noise variation.
*
* 0 Sensing IR from LED and ambient
* 1 Sensing IR from LED with ambient IR rejection
