Thanks, Jonathan, for taking the time to go through this. I'll send a
second patch series in a day or two.

I'm hoping to have one of these light sensors (along with 2 others in
staging/iio/light/) in a week or so that I can hook it up to a
Raspberry Pi to test the drivers. I ordered the sensors off of
Digi-Key for a few dollars each. One of my friends is mounting them
onto a breakout board for me.

Is my change that renames the Kconfig variable acceptable? After I
emailed that last patch set, I noticed that the description in Kconfig
for this driver has 'ISL 29018' but the neighboring one in mainline has
'Intersil ISL29125' so I assume that should be changed as well for
consistency.
