It was discussed in early revisions of the series. :-)

There was an OFFSET back then, but we removed it because chip uses twos
complement encoding for bipolar single-ended and (bipolar) differential. We
have 's' and 'u' set in the scan_type.sign in those cases. The current
implementation looks correct to me in this regard.
