IIO temperature units are milli celcius, so I'm not following
the argument here.  The driver might be reporting in pico celcius
I suppose?  Call out that this is the scale factor though, so
it corresponds to 1LSB hence a small number is certainly plausible..

Reasonable to argue it's taking the integer and dividing by 10^9 hence
INT_PLUS_NANO is the right answer, but it isn't nano celsius.
