Great! Thanks a lot Subhajit! Your testing is very much appreciated :)

I think you sent another version of your APDS9306 driver. AFAIR, this 
driver could have benefited from the above rounding fix. I will see if I 
find the time and energy to see if I can dive into this again and 
re-spin this rounding fix. No promises but I'll try :)
