drivers/misc/isl29003.c: driver for the ISL29003 ambient light sensor

Add a driver for Intersil's ISL29003 ambient light sensor device plus some
documentation.  Inspired by tsl2550.c, a driver for a similar device.

It is put in drivers/misc for now until the industrial I/O framework gets
merged.

Kernel driver isl29003

Supported chips:
* Intersil ISL29003
Prefix: 'isl29003'
Addresses scanned: none
Datasheet:

Description
-----------
The ISL29003 is an integrated light sensor with a 16-bit integrating type
ADC, I2C user programmable lux range select for optimized counts/lux, and
I2C multi-function control and monitoring capabilities. The internal ADC
provides 16-bit resolution while rejecting 50Hz and 60Hz flicker caused by
artificial light sources.
The driver allows to set the lux range, the bit resolution, the operational
mode (see below) and the power state of device and can read the current lux
value, of course.
Detection
---------
The ISL29003 does not have an ID register which could be used to identify
it, so the detection routine will just try to read from the configured I2C
addess and consider the device to be present as soon as it ACKs the
transfer.
Sysfs entries

range:
0: 0 lux to 1000 lux (default)

resolution:
0: 2^16 cycles (default)

1: diode1's current (unsigned 16bit)
2: difference between diodes (l1 - l2, signed 15bit)

If you say yes here you get support for the Intersil ISL29003
ambient light sensor.
This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called isl29003.
