Some LRADC channels have a fixed pre-divider, and all can have enabled

This patch
  - adds the scaling info flag to all channels
  - adds a lookup table with max reference voltage per channel
    (where the fixed pre-dividers apply)
  - allows to read the scaling attribute (computed from the Vref)

Looks good, one minor issue.

This will conflict with Marek's "iio: mxs-lradc: Remove useless check in
read_raw", can you apply Marek's patch to your tree and rebase this series
on-top of it?

Yes, sorry, I missed Marek's patch when preparing this series.

I think the locking in this driver needs some re-work (in a separate patch).
There is really no reason why you shouldn't be able to query the scale while
the device is running in buffered mode. The common idiom to protect against
concurrent buffer mode and raw access is to take the indio_dev->mlock in
read_raw, check iio_buffer_enabled(), if it returns true, unlock the lock
and return -EBUSY. Otherwise continue to read the raw value.

Actually I didn't touch this code. It's the original code by Marek.
It appears as difference because I moved part of the code into a function called mxs_lradc_read_single() for clarity.
@Marek, will you look at this suggestion?

+
+	/* Check for invalid channel */
+	if (chan->channel > LRADC_MAX_TOTAL_CHANS
+		ret = -EINVAL;

This looks wrong. The code will still continue to read and value or the
scale and overwrite 'ret'. The original code did check this condition before
taking the lock and did return an error. But on the other hand the condition
will never be true anyway since you have no channels where the chan value is
larger than MAX_TOTAL_CHANS, so maybe just drop this completely.

Same here. This is Marek's original code that was moved. I agree that the check is redundant.
@Marek, will you take care of it as well?
