I'm actually using the second member, as I'm trying to move the TS-5500
ADC driver from HWMON to IIO (you can see the HWMON patch here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/diff/2011/7/19/223/1). It is used in the
ts5500_adc_show_range() function (nr is the equivalent of val2).

But I've found the ad7291.c driver which is 8 channels as well. 
It might offer a solution that avoids using this second parameter. Is
it a good driver to refer to in this case?

Regards,
Vivien.
