True. I've long had plan to add the sysfs files only if the feature is
actually supported.

I've mostly tried to keep the documentation only discuss about the
software side. The TRM is public and should be used to understand the
hardware.

But you are right that normal user shouldn't need to read the TRM if he
just wants to use scaling =). So either the sysfs/ioctl interfaces
should force the user to use things correctly, or he should get clear
warnings/errors when he uses things incorrectly, or the documentation
should say these things.
