Thanks a lot for your review.

Any way to get the result with offset value in the iio-consumer side?
What I need is as below.

  result = raw * scale + offset

At this moment, there are two apis() for reading the iio channel
- iio_read_channel_raw() and iio_read_channel_scale().

Does it sound good if I add iio_read_channel_offset() consumer api
using IIO_CHAN_INFO_OFFSET?

Best Regards,
Milo
