I tested the formula used in Xiaomi's driver in the mainline kernel and
compared it against the downstream kernel, and the lux readings match between
them. Therefore, I suppose this solution could be good for now.
Although my formula for calculating scale is wrong - it should be inverse
proportionate to integration time. So:
80ms -> 1.28
160ms -> 0.64 (what Xiaomi uses)
320ms -> 0.32
640ms -> 0.16
This can be achieved by multiplying als_trans_ratio by integration time used in
Xiaomi's driver, and then dividing by integration time we have set up at the
given moment.
For example, suppose we set our int time in mainline to 80ms
16 (als_trans_ration) * 16 (160ms / 10000) = 256
256 / 8 (80ms / 10000) = 32
Starting here, we calculate based on how Xiaomi calculates scale for their
values:
32 * 40000 = 1280000
val = 1280000 / 1000000 = 1
val2 = 1280000 % 1000000 = 280000
And that leaves us with scale of 1.280000.
Of course, comments on how we came to this value would be included as well.
