Well spotted on the bug, but I think we are better off fixing this at the
true source of the problem which is in drivers/iio/inkern.c 
iio_convert_raw_to_processed_unlocked which does a call to 
iio_channel_read(chan, &offset, NULL, IIO_CHAN_INFO_OFFSET) then uses
the error return to check if the offset parameter is available. It should
be checking that before making this call with a call to iio_channel_has_info.

I don't suppose you could prepare a patch fixing that as you found the problem?

If not I can fix it up sometime if no one else beats me to it.

Thanks
