Right. Lining this and a few other things up for v2. I'm hoping
for more feedback on other stuff though, so I'll hold that off for
a bit.

Right, I'm changing Vref to vref all over the map.

const? devm_iio_channel_get doesn't return a const iio_channel. What
am I missing?

I assume that what you really want is to get rid of the cast, and
that you aren't really bothered if tmp is ull or s32, right? Given
that assumption, I'm just dropping the cast instead. The LL specifier
on the constant should promote *val anyway.

How about this:

/*
* Convert integer scale to fractional scale by
* setting the denominator (*val2) to 1 (one) and
* fall through to the handler for fractional scale.
*/

Except dpot_dac_iio_channel isn't an array. Does ARRAY_SIZE
work on non-arrays?

Cheers,
