It's required for 24 bit sensors which were previously broken if
you had a 24 bit channel with anything much after it.

We do have a full fix keeping those working as well, but it was stalled
on getting some actual tests on 24 bit devices (not many people have them).

It's the last (and infact only fix) in my fixes-togreg branch.

iio: common: st_sensors: fix channel data parsing

With combination of end of year / xmas plus merge window I haven't gotten it
out yet. Will fix that in the next day or so.

Could you test and see if it fixes what you are seeing?
At least superficially sounds like the same issue.

Thanks,
