Dear IIO Mailing-List, Hi Jonathan!

Thank you so much for the review. As you probably saw, most (all?) of
my commits have a huge invisible question mark attached. Most of my
questions you answered clearly. On particular topics I'd like to get
back, though. Generally I will try to apply the requested changes to
best of my understanding.

This is probably not quite clear. Originally the driver was
right-justified. One of my last commits
(f68ebfe1501bf1110eebf5e968c4d9186cba8706) changed the driver to work
with left-justified measurements. So, I feel changing the orginal
behavior is wrong, and here I try to re-establish the original driver
behavior.

When looking at the datasheet right-justified data seems to be easier
to handle, but I don't have any personal preference.
