This needs a rewrite.  I read that as the measurement needed to be
distinguished from other measurements, not the device needs to be
distinguished from other devices.

It's also unusual to update the scan masks to add timestamps or
scan_index / scan_type before they are actually used.

Hence this first patch should just split the definitions but
not add the additional elements until the next patch that adds
buffered support (where these get used).

So resulting code is fine, but the patch breakup can be improved
so all the bits we need to look at for a given feature are
in a single patch (but not the refactoring).
