drivers/misc/isl29003.c: driver for the ISL29003 ambient light sensor

Add a driver for Intersil's ISL29003 ambient light sensor device plus some
documentation.  Inspired by tsl2550.c, a driver for a similar device.

It is put in drivers/misc for now until the industrial I/O framework gets
merged.

+Kernel driver isl29003
+=====================

+Prefix: 'isl29003'

+Description
+-----------
+The ISL29003 is an integrated light sensor with a 16-bit integrating type
+ADC, I2C user programmable lux range select for optimized counts/lux, and
+I2C multi-function control and monitoring capabilities. The internal ADC
+provides 16-bit resolution while rejecting 50Hz and 60Hz flicker caused by
+artificial light sources.
+
+The driver allows to set the lux range, the bit resolution, the operational
+mode (see below) and the power state of device and can read the current lux
+value, of course.
+
+
+Detection
+---------
+
+The ISL29003 does not have an ID register which could be used to identify
+it, so the detection routine will just try to read from the configured I2C
+addess and consider the device to be present as soon as it ACKs the
+transfer.
+
+
+Sysfs entries
+-------------
+
+range:
+        0: 0 lux to 1000 lux (default)
+        1: 0 lux to 4000 lux
+        2: 0 lux to 16,000 lux
+        3: 0 lux to 64,000 lux
+
+resolution:
+        0: 2^16 cycles (default)
+        1: 2^12 cycles
+        2: 2^8 cycles
+        3: 2^4 cycles
+
+mode:
+        0: diode1's current (unsigned 16bit) (default)
+        1: diode1's current (unsigned 16bit)
+        2: difference between diodes (l1 - l2, signed 15bit)
+
+power_state:
+        0: device is disabled (default)
+        1: device is enabled
+
+lux (read only):
+        returns the value from the last sensor reading
