We can still read individual channels, just that the driver does not see that anymore and the demux is handled by the iio core.
available_scan_masks contains the bitmap superset for all channels we can enable (I will remove the 0 available_scan_mask as it does not makes sense).
When a new channel is enabled, the iio core checks if the new mask is a subset of any entry in available_scan_masks. When the buffer is pushed from the driver, the iio core will select only the enabled channel values.
