Okay, this is better than my original implementation. No idea what I was
doing...

Thanks for improving my driver!

Given how annoying hard-coded values are, could you change the `i < 4` to
`i < ARRAY_SIZE(veml3328_scale_vals[it_inx])`? This should also be done for 
the subsequent -EINVAL check as well. Feel free to do a separate patch.
