Documentation: devicetree: Add property for controlling power saving mode for the us5182 als sensor
Add a property to allow changing the default power-saving mode. By default, at read raw the chip will activate and provide one measurent, then it will shut itself down. However, the chip can also work in "continuous" mode which may be more reliable but is also more power consuming.

+- upisemi,continuous: This chip has two power modes: one-shot (chip takes one
+ measurement and then shuts itself down) and continuous (
+ chip takes continuous measurements). The one-shot mode is
+ more power-friendly but the continuous mode may be more
+ reliable. If this property is specified the continuous
+ mode will be used instead of the default one-shot one for
+ raw reads.

If the optional properties are not specified these factors will default to the
values in the below example.
The glass-coef defaults to no compensation for the covering material.
