That's not true. There are a few 'very special cases' where this happens.
We had cases where the driver was already putting out RAW values when
it turned out there was no sensible way of converting it to processed values
(non linear as in your case). As the RAW interface was existing ABI we had
to maintain it even though in some senses this was a bug.
The other cases that look a bit like this are when multiple input sensors
are fused to produce a computed output value. This happens with light
sensors. However, the raw and processed channels are different channels
(as there is no one to one mapping).
It is not uncommon to provide a 'mixture' of raw and processed but they
are not for the same channels.
So in general we simply do not allow both to be provided for a single channel.
There is no useful purpose in doing so and it complicates the exposed ABI.
