What I wanted to model is that both channels (ALS and WH) should be
accessible, but allowing the user to request a single one, as the ALS
channel is usually more relevant. It seems that in that case I should
leave available_scan_masks as it is, right? I don't want to keep any
channel from being accessible.

In my interpretation, I thought that I could read a single register if
there is only a single active channel, instead of using regmap_read_bulk
unconditionally. the data registers have consecutive addresses, and a
bulk read is possible, though.
What approach is preferred in this case? Reading and pushing both
channels at once without any loop, letting the IIO core demux do the
rest, or reading only the active channels as it is done here?
