Good spot. I'd fallen for assuming a driver worked the way I thought it would
and not checked everything necessary was there.

Hmm. This is a bit odd. Driver seems to be written with assumption that the IIO
core is doing demux.  That doesn't work unless available_scan_masks is set.

Make that
{
	AS73211_SCAN_MASK_ALL,
	AS73211_SCAN_MASK_COLOR,
	0,
};

And then if you enable fewer channels, the IIO core will still enable one of the
sets in available_scan_masks and then do the relevant data manipulation to repack
as necessary.

I'll not pick this patch up as it makes sense to fix both issues together.

Thanks
