Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Documentation: devicetree: Add property for controlling power saving mode for the us5182 als sensor

Add a property to allow changing the default power-saving mode.
By default, at read raw the chip will activate and provide
one measurent, then it will shut itself down. However, the
chip can also work in "continuous" mode which may be more reliable
but is also more power consuming.

+- upisemi,continuous: This chip has two power modes: one-shot (chip takes one
+                      measurement and then shuts itself down) and continuous (
+                      chip takes continuous measurements). The one-shot mode is

+                      raw reads.

 If the optional properties are not specified these factors will default to the
 values in the below example.
 The glass-coef defaults to no compensation for the covering material.
