+description: |
+ This document defines device tree properties common to several iio
+ sensors. It doesn't constitue a device tree binding specification by itself but
+ is meant to be referenced by device tree bindings.
+
+ When referenced from sensor tree bindings the properties defined in this
+ document are defined as follows. The sensor tree bindings are responsible for
+ defining whether each property is required or optional.
+
+properties:
+ proximity-near-level:
+ $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
+ description: |
+ For proximity sensors whether an object can be considered near to the
+ device depends on parameters like sensor position, covering glass and
+ aperture. This value gives an indication to userspace for which
+ sensor readings this is the case.
+
+ Raw proximity values equal or above this level should be
+ considered 'near' to the device (an object is near to the
+ sensor).

Introduce a file for common properties of iio sensors. So far this contains the new proximity-near-level property for proximity sensors that indicates when an object should be considered near.
