Hi Srinivas andd Jonathan

Thanks for the review.

yes, the 3th version sensitivity (Percentage of prior reading) is what we 
are using for als sensor now. the 1th version sensitivity is common used 
by other hid sensors. Do you have suggestion or reference about 
how to add *_hysteresis_relative field to iio model?

I think the add relative hystersis patch should be separated into a independent
patch series, for it's a independent function and need more effort for coding and 
testing. And I can submit the other two patch in this patch series first.
