43806f07e3 samus: Add scale factor to account for ALS attenuation
This adds a sensor-specific attentuation factor, which will be
applied to the ALS raw sensor readings on the EC. This is to
account for the attenutation due to glass, tinting, etc.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:34590
BRANCH=ToT,Samus
TEST=manual

In a root shell, run this:

  cd /sys/bus/acpi/drivers/acpi_als/ACPI0008:00/iio:device1
  while true; do cat in_illuminance_raw; sleep 1 ;done

Shine a flashlight on the ALS. Note that the readings are 5X
higher than they were before this CL.

8b5277defe samus: move als sampling from hooks to its own task
Moved sampling of ALS to its own task. The problem is that it
spin waits on the i2c bus mutex, and it's a bad idea to spin wait
for very long in the hooks task because the hooks task tickles
the watchdog.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:29003
BRANCH=none
TEST=tested on samus: make sure ALS task is running and no
watchdog timeouts when the i2c bus is wedged indefinitely.

1d2845d2db Add EC_MEMMAP_ALS, update it once per second
This adds space for up to two ALS lux readings to be available to the AP
through the memory-mapped LPC region. If enabled, the values are updated
once a second.

The ALS will be reinitialized at every AP resume, since it's typically
unpowered otherwise. The reported value will be zero when the ALS is off.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:23380
BRANCH=samus
TEST=manual

Boot the AP, then from the EC console run "als" or just monitor the
memory-mapped region directly ("rw 0x40080780" on Samus), while pointing the
sensor at bright and dim areas. The value should change.

f23e68d721 Add ALS driver for light sensors connected to EC
This adds the driver and a console command to read an Intersil ISL29305
light sensor connected to the EC.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:23380
BRANCH=samus
TEST=manual

Run the "als" command from the EC console, while pointing the sensor in
various directions. It should give higher numbers when facing a light
source.  If you get "Error 1", it means the ALS isn't powered.
