Although it is good for code clarity to add a break statement, the code can 
never return anything but -EINVAL in case chan->address is not handled in 
IIO_CHAN_INFO_SCALE:

-----
switch (mask) {
case IIO_CHAN_INFO_SCALE:
   switch (chan->address) {
       case INA2XX_SHUNT_VOLTAGE:
       ... return IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL;
       
       case INA2XX_BUS_VOLTAGE:
       ... return IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL;

       case INA2XX_CURRENT:
       ... return IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL;

       case INA2XX_POWER:
       ... return IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL;
   }

case IIO_CHAN_INFO_HARDWAREGAIN:
   switch (chan->address) {
       case INA2XX_SHUNT_VOLTAGE:
       ... return IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL;
       
       case INA2XX_BUS_VOLTAGE:
       ... return IIO_VAL_INT;
   }
}
return -EINVAL;
-----

The addresses handled in INFO_HARDWAREGAIN is a subset of the ones in 
INFO_SCALE.

I would prefer an early "return -EINVAL" here, as it matches better with the 
other "switch (mask)" cases above.

Kind regards,

Stefan
