This calibscale property changes the output of the _input property.
Properties defined with _input I believe are designed to return values
in SI units. Wouldn't changing the scale, say to 1000, change the units
from like lux to say kilolux? Wouldn't it be more appropriate then to
return this calibrated value through illuminance_raw ?

Also, please update
drivers/staging/iio/Documentation/sysfs-bus-iio-light with definitions
for the calibscale property so that it is properly documented there.
