In this case it comes from one of those two but there is no inherent reason it won't come from elsewhere.
Take for example an IMU block with integrated components. The mounting
matrix is then partly provided by acpi say and partly by values read from the device.
Yes moving to read_raw_multi involves a driver change but that is no bad thing anyway and the change is fairly trivial.
