The Thermocouple Sensor Configuration register only applies to the
thermocouple (hot-junction), which is what sets the filter and
thermocouple configuration.

More specifically, the filter formula applies to T-delta (thermocouple
hot-junction).

So these are correct.

I can change that.

I guess I need to make this IIO_SEPARATE/IIO_SHARED_BY_TYPE, but I need
to make sure it's only for the in_temp_raw and not in_temp_ambient_raw.

I'll defer to the other thread for further discussion on this.
