iio: add LM3533 ambient-light-sensor driver

Add sub-driver for the ambient-light-sensor interface on National
Semiconductor / TI LM3533 lighting power chips.

The sensor interface can be used to control the LEDs and backlights of
the chip through defining five light zones and three sets of
corresponding output-current values.

The driver provides raw and mean adc readings along with the current
light zone through sysfs. A threshold event can be generated on zone
changes. The ALS-control output values can be set per zone for the three
current output channels.

Description:
Event generated when channel passes one of the four thresholds
in each direction (rising|falling) and a zone change occurs.
The corresponding light zone can be read from
in_illuminance0_zone.

Description:
Get the hysteresis for thresholds Y, that is,
threshY_hysteresis = threshY_raising - threshY_falling

Description:
Specifies the value of threshold that the device is comparing
against for the events enabled by
in_illuminance0_thresh_either_en (0..255), where Y in 0..3.
Note that threshY_falling must be less than or equal to
threshY_raising.
These thresholds correspond to the eight zone-boundary
registers (boundaryY_{low,high}) and defines the five light
zones.

Description:
Set the output current for channel out_currentY when in zone
Z (0..255), where Y in 0..2 and Z in 0..4.
These values correspond to the ALS-mapper target registers for
ALS-mapper Y + 1.

If you say yes here you get support for the ambient light sensor
interface on National Semiconductor / TI LM3533 Lighting Power
chips.
The sensor interface can be used to control the LEDs and backlights
of the chip through defining five light zones and three sets of
corresponding output-current values.
The driver provides raw and mean adc readings along with the current
light zone through sysfs. A threshold event can be generated on zone
changes. The ALS-control output values can be set per zone for the
