19Description
20-----------
21The ISL29003 is an integrated light sensor with a 16-bit integrating type
22ADC, I2C user programmable lux range select for optimized counts/lux, and
23I2C multi-function control and monitoring capabilities. The internal ADC
24provides 16-bit resolution while rejecting 50Hz and 60Hz flicker caused by
25artificial light sources.
26
27The driver allows to set the lux range, the bit resolution, the operational
28mode (see below) and the power state of device and can read the current lux
29value, of course.

32Detection
33---------
34
35The ISL29003 does not have an ID register which could be used to identify
36it, so the detection routine will just try to read from the configured I2C
37address and consider the device to be present as soon as it ACKs the
38transfer.
