There should not be more channels, but tbh, you never know, I will
rename to channels.

RAW channel is in milli-degrees, or this is not enough? I don't get
your point here tbh. What is wrong? Battery driver requires
temperature in degree centigrade hence it is scaled to it.

it is "generic-adc-thermal" with this name, it is not present anywhere in IIO.
