A voltage-divider is always an iio consumer. And like all iio things,
you may access its output from user space (typically via libiio). At
the same time a voltage-divider is optionally an iio provider for other
in-kernel thingies, in which case you need to specify
#io-channel-cells.

BTW, this is the case for for all bindings handled by the iio-rescale
driver.

Cheers,
Peter
