Thanks for your feedback, some comments inline.

The "glass-coef" is intended to compensate for the material (glass) that 
may be covering the sensor if it's integrated in a phone, tablet etc. I 
chose 1000 as resolution for this scaling factor (i'll add a more 
detailed description). So possibly similar properties could be used for 
other als sensors as well.

The last 3 tuning parameters are specific to this particular sensor.

Yes, if not present they will fall back to default values - the values 
in the example.
- the glass-coef one is 1000 by default - so no glass compensation by 
default (lux = lux * 1000/1000)
- the others were determined experimentally - by fine tuning starting 
from the default values in those registers).

Ok, I'll add this info in a following patch set.
