Curious. I'm playing guess the intent here and I suspect that what
we should really be doing is checking type in 
iio_read_max_channel_raw() and returning an error if it is not IIO_VAL_INT
(can only get there for IIO_AVAIL_RANGE currently as there is a FIXME for
 IIO_AVAIL_LIST for non IIO_VAL_INT types)

I'm not sure we've ever documented that _RAW can't be non integer even if
that makes relatively little sense most of the time..
