I'm a bit confused about these units. I searched references of
iio_read_channel_processed() and found a few.

The iio_hwmon expecting milivolts. On the other side lp8788-charger.c
registers a get_property method in charger-manager.c, which expects
microvolts in get_batt_uV().

I also wonder how to implement IIO read_raw() method so as not to lose
precision (if assume we must return millivolts). As far I can see it
should be some combination of IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW and IIO_CHAN_INFO_SCALE
masks. Any hints?
