[0/3] Support ROHM BM1390 pressure sensor

ROHM BM1390 Pressure sensor (BM1390GLV-Z) can measure pressures ranging
from 300 hPa to 1300 hPa with configurable measurement averaging and an
internal FIFO. The sensor does also provide temperature measurements
although, according to the data sheet, sensor performs internal
temperature compensation for the MEMS.

Sensor does also contain IIR filter implemented in HW. The data-sheet
says the IIR filter can be configured to be "weak", "middle" or
"strong". Some RMS noise figures are provided in data sheet but no
accurate maths for the filter configurations is provided.

I actually asked if we can define 3db frequencies corresponding to these
IIR filter settings - and I received values 0.452Hz, 0.167Hz, and 0.047Hz
but I am not at all sure we understood each others with the HW
colleagues... Hence, the IIR filter configuration is not supported by this
driver and the filter is just configured to the "middle" setting.
(at least for now)

It would also be possible to not use IIR filter but just do some simple
averaging. I wonder if it would make sense to implement the OVERSAMPLING
value setting so that if this value is written, IIR filter is disabled and
number of samples to be averaged is set to value requested by
OVERSAMPLING. The data-sheet has a mention that if IIR is used, the
number of averaged samples must be set to a fixed value.

The FIFO measurement mode (in sensor hardware) is only measuring the
pressure and not the temperature. The driver measures temperature when
FIFO is flushed and simply uses the same measured temperature value to
all reported temperatures. This should not be a problem when temperature
is not changing very rapidly (several degrees C / second) but allows users
to get the temperature measurements from sensor without any additional
logic.

This driver has received limited amount of testing this far. It's in a
state 'works on my machine, for my use cases' - and all feedback is
appreciated!
