While they do apply to two calculated channels, they're the same physical property, and can never be different. Furthermore, in the above output they do not show up as attributes of the "power" and "current" channels, but as attributes of a separate "shunt" channel. Is that intentional? For comparison, with ina226 on BayLibre ACME, which uses a similar configuration, I get: iio:device0: ina226 5 channels found: voltage0: (input) 6 channel-specific attributes found: attr 0: scale value: 0.002500000 attr 1: raw value: 979 attr 2: integration_time value: 0.001100 attr 3: index value: 0 attr 4: en value: 0 attr 5: type value: le:u16/16>>0 voltage1: (input) 6 channel-specific attributes found: attr 0: integration_time value: 0.001100 attr 1: raw value: 4007 attr 2: scale value: 1.250000000 attr 3: en value: 0 attr 4: index value: 1 attr 5: type value: le:u16/16>>0 power2: (input) 5 channel-specific attributes found: attr 0: raw value: 49 attr 1: scale value: 25.000000000 attr 2: index value: 2 attr 3: type value: le:u16/16>>0 attr 4: en value: 0 current3: (input) 5 channel-specific attributes found: attr 0: scale value: 1 attr 1: raw value: 245 attr 2: type value: le:u16/16>>0 attr 3: index value: 3 attr 4: en value: 0 timestamp: (input) 3 channel-specific attributes found: attr 0: type value: le:s64/64>>0 attr 1: index value: 4 attr 2: en value: 0 6 device-specific attributes found: attr 0: in_oversampling_ratio value: 4 attr 1: in_shunt_resistor value: 10000 attr 2: in_allow_async_readout value: 0 attr 3: integration_time_available value: 0.000140 0.000204 0.000332 0.000588 0.001100 0.002116 0.004156 0.008244 attr 4: in_sampling_frequency value: 114 attr 5: in_active value: 1 (note that the last "in_active" property does not exist in the mainline version of the driver). Here the shunt resistor value is a (single) device-specific attribute, which makes more sense to me, as in-se the shunt resistor value is not a property of just the "current" and "power" channels, but a property of the (external) device configuration.
