Ok, so in that case we could probably get away with having it as you have
here, though for maximum precision we'd need userspace to occasionally check
the scale.

This is one of the holes in what IIO does today. Without meta data in the
buffer (which is hard to define in a clean fashion) it is hard to have
a compact representation of the data in the presence of dynamic scaling.
The vast majority of devices don't inherently support such scaling so
this is only occasionally a problem.
To support this at the moment you would indeed need to scale the data
before pushing it to the buffer which is obviously really ugly.
My gut feeling here is there are three possible approaches.
1) Ignore the dynamic nature of the calibration and pretend it's static.
2) Add an explicit 'calibration' sysfs attribute.
This is a fairly common model for other sensor types which don't do
dynamic calibration but instead require to you to start some special
calibration sequence.
As the calibration is not updated, except on explicit userspace action
we can assume that the scale is static unless userspace is aware of
the dynamic aspect.
3) Add a userspace control to turn on dynamic calibration. That makes it
opt in. Everything will work reasonably well without it turned on
as we'll hopefully have a static estimate of scale which is good enough.
If aware software is using the device, it can enable this mode and
sample the scale as often as it wants to.
I slightly favour option 3. What do you think? If we ever figure out
the meta data question for buffered case then we can make that work on top
of this.
