Comment inline. The function you are talking about isn't used
in the majority of likely use cases for this part. The maths will actually
be done in userspace (which can use floating point).
Thanks,

This is an interesting comment, but relies on anyone actually
using iio_convert_raw_to_processed with this device.
I would imagine that 'in kernel' users of a resolver (who would use
that function) will be few and far between. Mostly this will just
get passed to userspace. That involves this being converted to
a decimal. I would just specify it as one in the first place.
