Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your review on this.

I've incorrect called it as a dataready trigger, I missed this as part 
of my initial cleanup - apologies for the confusion caused by this. I 
should potentially call it 'threshold' or 'dev'. Please suggest what you 
think would be appropriate here.

The sensor has an active low interrupt pin which is connected to a GPIO 
(input, pullup). When the sensor reading crosses value set in threshold 
high or threshold low resisters, interrupt signal is generated and the 
interrupt gets handled in 'bh1745_interrupt_handler()' (interrupt also 
depends on number of consecutive judgements set in BH1745_PERSISTENCE 
register)

When an interrupt occurs, BH1745_INTR_STATUS bit is set in the 
BH1745_INTR register. Event is only pushed out when the 
BH1745_INTR_STATUS bit is set.
