Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.
It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:
commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200
Prepare v4.1.3-rt3
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

ALS and proximity +functionality are highly connected. ALS measurement path must be running +while the proximity functionality is enabled. + +ALS produces raw measurement values for two channels: Clear channel +(infrared + visible light) and IR only. However, threshold comparisons happen +using clear channel only. Lux value and the threshold level on the HW +might vary quite much depending the spectrum of the light source. + +Driver makes necessary conversions to both directions so that user handles +only lux values. Lux value is calculated using information from the both +channels. HW threshold level is calculated from the given lux value to match +with current type of the lightning. Sometimes inaccuracy of the estimations +lead to false interrupt, but that doesn't harm. + +ALS contains 4 different gain steps. Driver automatically +selects suitable gain step. After each measurement, reliability of the results +is estimated and new measurement is trigged if necessary. + +Platform data can provide tuned values to the conversion formulas if +values are known. Otherwise plain sensor default values are used. + +Proximity side is little bit simpler. There is no need for complex conversions. +It produces directly usable values. + +Driver controls chip operational state using pm_runtime framework. +Voltage regulators are controlled based on chip operational state. + +SYSFS +----- + + +chip_id + RO - shows detected chip type and version + +power_state + RW - enable / disable chip.

In "trigger" mode the driver tells two possible + values: 0 or prox0_sensor_range value. 0 means no proximity, + 1023 means proximity. This causes minimal number of interrupts. + In "periodic" mode the driver reports all values above + prox0_thresh_above.
