Hi!

Thanks for the patch!

I think this is too simplistic. I think that if the upstream iio-dev has
an offset, it should be dealt with (i.e. be rescaled). The rescale driver
cannot ignore such an upstream offset and then throw in some other
unrelated offset of its own. That would be thoroughly confusing.

Also, I see no reason of expose an offset channel if there is no offset.

Cheers,
Peter
