Upstream is hard for this chip driver, we decide to use userland driver instead.

Add restarting the service after adding the drop-in.

The current PM16D17 kernel sensor driver is not using the existing
kernel API, but self-invented device tree bindings, which is rejected
while upstreaming, see [1].

This patch replaces the kernel driver with a user-land driver.

Quite a lot of changes... Given all this effort, it might have been worth to make at least the complications with Everlight transparent to upstream and ask for further guidance.

Sure, I will append our new findings to the kernel mailing list.
