What is the benefit in doing this? Userspace already has all the numbers
to calculate the value? The calculation is trivial to do in userspace.
The basic principle of IIO is to do as little as possible in the driver
and to leave such calculations to userspace which has the benefit of
easy access to floating point calculations if desired.
So sorry, not taking this one.
