The `= 0' is unneeded and undesirable.

eek.  Is there no way to avoid the busy-wait?  We cannot sleep here?

These tables could perhaps be const?

It's preferred to try to fit the code into an 80-col window.  (But some
people disagree with this specifically for function definitions such as
this).

> +static ssize_t tsl2550_store_power_state(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, const char *buf, size_t count)

Ditto (and other places).

Preferred coding style is

	err = i2c_detach_client(client);
	if (err)
		return err;

(multiple places)
