It's definitely meant to be millivolts (lifted from hwmon a while back).
See Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio

Looks like we have a bug in lp8788-charger - it might be matched with
one in lp8788-adc, but then there will be a bug there...

Cc'd Milo Kim.

Use val and val2 and a return type of IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_MICRO.
So if you have n microvolts

val = n div 1000;
val2 = n mod 1000 * 1000;
This makes sense if you are returning a processed value.
Otherwise, use a scale infomask element (and support in read raw) to
ensure that rawvalue*scale is in millivolts
So if n is in microvolts it would simply be 1000.
(this would all have been more obvious if we hadn't copied hwmon and
had just used volts, but such is history).

As for in kernel users...
iio_read_channel_raw and iio_read_channel_processed assume we are looking
for an integer value out, so you'll want to call iio_read_channel_raw and
apply iio_convert_raw_to_processed with appropriately adjusted scale value.
