The sensor can operate in lower power modes and even make measurements when in those lower powered modes. The decision was taken that if measurement is not requested within 2 seconds the sensor will remain in SLEEP_STEP power mode, where measurements are triggered on request with setting the start of measurement bit (SOB). In this mode the measurements are taking a bit longer because we need to start it and complete it. Currently, in continuous mode we read ready data and this mode is activated if sensor measurement is requested within 2 seconds. The suspend timeout is increased to 6 seconds (instead of 3 before), because that enables more measurements in lower power mode (SLEEP_STEP), with the lowest refresh rate (2 seconds).

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
