This device has two channels - ALS and CLEAR. One interrupt enable option and
one Channel selection option (Clear or ALS). According to our previous discussions:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230415183543.6d5e3392@jic23-huawei/
the event_spec was updated to have two interrupt enable attributes - one for CLEAR and
one for ALS. (Intensity channel and Illuminance channel)

If I remove the final entry I am getting only one enable option (intensity channel):
/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/
|-- events
|   |-- in_intensity_clear_thresh_either_en
|   |-- thresh_adaptive_either_en
|   |-- thresh_adaptive_either_value
|   |-- thresh_adaptive_either_values_available
|   |-- thresh_either_period
|   |-- thresh_either_period_available
|   |-- thresh_falling_value
|   `-- thresh_rising_value

The last entry gives be the following event attributes, enable attributes for both
intensity and illuminance channels:
/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/
|-- events
|   |-- in_illuminance_thresh_either_en
|   |-- in_intensity_clear_thresh_either_en
|   |-- thresh_adaptive_either_en
|   |-- thresh_adaptive_either_value
|   |-- thresh_adaptive_either_values_available
|   |-- thresh_either_period
|   |-- thresh_either_period_available
|   |-- thresh_falling_value
|   `-- thresh_rising_value

Please let me know if this sounds ok to you.

Subhajit Ghosh
