That's a reasonably optimisation

Don't do this last bit.  The core handles demuxing the channels via
active_scan_masks. As a general rule it does a more efficient job of this
than a hand coded version in a driver (precached copy rules etc).
The core has to have the logic anyway to support multiple consumers
(e.g. in kernel consumer and userspace) so we reuse it for these cases.

This should be combined with appropriate additions to available_scan_masks arrays
so the IIO core can handle choosing the right one to match enabled channels.
