I do not think it's that simple. The rescale_read_raw function, when asked
for IIO_CHAN_INFO_OFFSET, must know the scale of the source channel in
order to rescale the offset. After this patch, trying to get the rescaled
scale/offset when the source channel has an offset but lacks a scale will
simply return -EOPNOTSUPP.

Which is not what you intended, I think?

Cheers,
