iio: light: ltrf216a: Add raw attribute
Add IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW to the mask to be able to read raw values from the light sensor. The userspace code for brightness control in steam deck uses the in_illuminance_input value through sysfs and multiplies it with a constant stored in BIOS at factory calibration time. The downstream driver for LTRF216A that we have been using has incorrect formula for LUX calculation which we corrected in the upstreamed driver. Now to be able to use the upstreamed driver, we need to add some magic in userspace so that the brightness control works like before even with the updated LUX formula. Hence, we need the raw data to calculate a constant that can be added in userspace code. Downstream driver LUX formula :- (greendata*8*LTRF216A_WIN_FAC) / (data->als_gain_fac*data->int_time_fac*10) Upstreamed driver LUX formula :- (greendata*45*LTRF216A_WIN_FAC) / (data->als_gain_fac*data->int_time_fac) greendata is the ALS_DATA which we would like to get through sysfs using the raw attribute.
