Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] Minor cleanups and better error handling

Hello,

The first patch in the series adds support for configuring the gain and
resolution(integration time) of the ltr390 sensor by writing to the
respective registers. Then the available values for gain and resolution
that are listed in the datasheet are provided via the `read_avail`
callback. 

The second patch adds a new channel for the ALS feature of the sensor.
The same configuration of gain and resolution has to be provided for this
channel as well. As there are two IIO channels now, we would need to
switch the sensor's mode of operation depending on which sensor is being
accessed. Hence, mode switching is also provided.

Then the third patch adds support for calculating `counts_per_uvi` based
on the current gain and resolution value.

Changes in v3:
- Added cover letter to the patch series.
- Fixed indentation in the patch description.
- Patch specific changes are listed below.

[PATCH v3 1/3]
	- Cleaned up the spurious changes made in v2.
	- ltr390_set_int_time and ltr390_set_gain now return -EINVAL to
    indicate no match.

[PATCH v3 2/3]
	- Used enum ltr390_mode inside the ltr390_data struct.
  - Refactored `ltr390_set_mode` function according to the comments in v2.

[PATCH v3 3/3]
	- Simplified the formula for `counts_per_uvi` calculation.
	- Removed spurious whitespace changes introduced in v2.

- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20240728151957.310237-1-abhashkumarjha123@gmail.com/

Changes in v2:
- Split the single patch into 3 patches.
- Used FIELD_PREP to perform bit shifting.
- Used enum for mode selection instead of defines.
- Fixed indentation and whitespace issues pointed out in the comments
- Replaced `mutex_lock(&data->lock)` with `guard(mutex)(&data->lock)`
- Provided available values for gain and resolution via `read_avail`
  instead of sysfs attributes.
- Refactored `ltr390_set_gain` and `ltr390_set_int_time`.
- Used early returns instead of single exit points.

- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20240718104947.7384-1-abhashkumarjha123@gmail.com/

Regards,
Abhash
