Not at the moment.

The interface should probably be changed to iio one, to be consistent
with other sensors such as Apds990x.

If you have the hardware, help would be welcome.

Yes, makes sense for this driver to be with the iio light sensors. I don't have
the hardware for it. So, I won't move the sysfs interface to ABI.
