Hi
In Documentation/misc-devices/bh1770glc.txt, there is a description of the sysfs
interface which could be moved to Documentation/ABI.
Would such a change be useful?
The ABI documentation format looks like the following:
What: (the full sysfs path of the attribute)
Date: (date of creation)
KernelVersion: (kernel version it first showed up in)
Contact: (primary contact)
Description: (long description on usage)
I am doing this in an exercise to move sysfs ABI interfaces (which are
documented) to their right place i.e. in Documentation/ABI along with the rest.

Not at the moment.

The interface should probably be changed to iio one, to be consistent
with other sensors such as Apds990x.
If you have the hardware, help would be welcome.

Yes, makes sense for this driver to be with the iio light sensors. I don't have
the hardware for it. So, I won't move the sysfs interface to ABI.
