In the interest of lowering power usage, we only activate the proximity
channels and interrupts that we are currently using.

For raw reads, we activate the corresponding channel and the data ready
interrupt and wait for the interrupt to trigger. If no interrupt is
available, we wait for the documented scan period, as specified in the
datasheet.

The following types of usage patterns may overlap:

* raw proximity reads (need a single data ready interrupt)
* trigger usage (needs data ready interrupts as long as active)
* proximity events (need near/far interrupts)
* triggered buffer reads (don't need any interrupts, but are usually
coupled with our own trigger.

To mitigate all possible patterns, we implement usage counting for all
the resources used: data ready interrupts, near/far interrupts and
individual channels.

The device enters sleep mode as documented in the data sheet when its
buffer, trigger and events are disabled, and no raw reads are currently
running.

Because of this new usage pattern, it is important that we give the
device a chance to perform an initial compensation for all its channels
at probe time.
