Three months ago Peter Meerwald revised description of device driver[1].
Correctly, device's sensitivity is 0.3 uT/LSB typ and One micro tesla equal 0.01 gauss[2].
So I have fixed calculation formula,And then add RAW_TO_GAUSS macro.
Scale are returned as VAL_INT_PLUS_MICRO.
Additionally, I have add device name.
Tested on exynos4412 board, with following result:
-sh-4.1# cat name
ak8975
-sh-4.1# cat in_magn_x_raw
80
-sh-4.1# cat in_magn_x_scale
0.003609
Calculate the result 80 x 0.003609 = 0.28872 Gauss.
0.28872 G equal 288.72 mG
I think this magnitude value is proper level[3].
