4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Gabriele Mazzotta <gabriele....@gmail.com> commit fa34e6dd44d7c02c8a8468ce4a52a7506f907bef upstream. As per the ACPI specification (Revision 5.0) [1], the data coming from the sensor represent the ambient light illuminance reading expressed in lux. So use IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED to signify that the data are pre-processed. However, to keep backward ABI compatibility, the IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW bit is not removed. [1] http://www.acpi.info/DOWNLOADS/ACPIspec50.pdf This issue has also been responsible for at least one userspace bug report hence marking what is a small semantic fix really for stable.
