Yes, sorry about the delay. Same pile here, amplified with way too much
to do at work. My immediate reaction was that this is not that simple,
but after looking at it for a few minutes I also came to think that it's
perhaps the best that can be done.

But it's been a while, so it just took a while for things to dawn on me.

The rescaler passes on IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW as-is to the underlying
driver in the .read_avail op, and this patch xforms the processed
channel into the raw channel. So that is a mismatch. I don't think
it's easily fixable in the general case because the processed channel
rarely, if ever, implements .read_avail? And I don't know if it
is allowed to return -EINVAL for the .read_avail op for the raw
channel, because that would be the obvious patch to squash-in...

Cheers,
Peter
