an ambient light sensor can send illumination data.
So the implementation has two parts:
-- Core hid driver
+- Core HID driver
- Individual sensor processing part (sensor drivers)

Some common use cases are debug other sensors or to provide some events like
keyboard attached/detached or lid open/close.
