[PATCH 0/3] Add Sharp GP2AP070S Proximity Driver and enable it in Galaxy J6 (j6lte)

[Kaustabh Chakraborty]

Sharp GP2AP070S is a promixity sensor (NOT an ambient light sensor) in
mobile devices. This sensor chip is found in mobile devices, including
(but perhaps not limited to) Samsung Galaxy J6 (codename: j6lte).

To the best of my knowledge, there's no public documentation available
for this device. [1] is a downstream kernel implementation, which has
been the single source for developing this driver. Some bits have also
been stolen from existing GP2AP* drivers available in iio/light.

The last patch in this series touches the device tree sources to add the
light sensor node in j6lte. This needs to be accepted into next only
when the former patches are in next.

[PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: iio: proximity: add Sharp GP2AP070S proximity sensor

[Kaustabh Chakraborty]

The GP2AP070S is a proximity sensor designed and manufactured by Sharp
Corporation. Unlike the other GP2AP* schemas, this is strictly a
proximity sensor and NOT an ambient light sensor.

For power supplies, it expects two voltage supplies, one for core and
other for driving the infrared LED which is used to measure proximity
distance.

This chip has been used in production mobile devices such as the Samsung
Galaxy J6.

[PATCH 2/3] iio: proximity: add driver for Sharp GP2AP070S proximity sensor

[Kaustabh Chakraborty]

The GP2AP070S is a proximity sensor designed and manufactured by Sharp
Corporation. This sensor is used in mobile devices, including, but not
limited to - the Samsung Galaxy J6.

The driver has been adopted from Samsung's downstream kernel
implementation [1]. Due to the lack of public documentation about the
schematics of this device. The downstream driver acts as the secondary
source of information. Driver clarity has also been improved with the
help of the GP2AP* drivers in iio/light.

[PATCH 3/3] arm64: dts: exynos7870-j6lte: add Sharp GP2AP070S proximity sensor

[Kaustabh Chakraborty]

The Sharp GP2AP070S is a proximity sensor, which is connected to a
GPIO-driven I2C line. Define the devicetree node for the sensor.

The sensor requires two voltage supplies, one of which is from the
primary regulator bank of the device, while the other one is controlled
by the GPIO. Add a regulator wrapping over the concerned GPIO so as to
feed it to the sensor node.

Please add iio/* includes after the generic linux/* headers. Ensure
that there is a blank line between the two groups.

Additionally, you're also missing <asm/byteorder.h>, array_size.h, err.h,
types.h and delay.h.

Don't include this, this is included in i2c.h (see Uwe Kleine-Konig's
work).

You don't need a comment like this if you name your macro reasonably
