[RFC] iio: light: acpi-als: Enable the light sensor on the Zenbook UX430UQ

From: Kiernan Hager
Date: Wed Nov 15 2017 - 22:29:09 EST


This makes acpi-als properly enable the light sensor on the Zenbook UX430UQ. I don't know if the checking that I do to make sure that the ACPI method exists is sufficient or if it should disable the sensor when the module is unloaded, so input is appreciated on those matters.
