added missing init_completion() in probe().

yes. According to the datasheet, the device is very sensitive to external 
noise
during measurement.

Please recheck in v3. What shall I use instead of "1000"?

Replaced by U16_MAX. Do you want to see something else here? It is required
to communicate measurement errors to user space as the application will have
to adjust integration time and gain.

Can you please give me a pointer to an example? The list of available values 
of
some attributes depend on the current value of other attributes.
