Is this actually returning an alternating voltage magnitutde?
Most frequency drivers don't have a raw value, only frequency.

Shouldn't this be IIO_CHAN_INFO_FREQUENCY?

Processed is just (raw + offset) * scale which would be a voltage
in this case since the channel type is IIO_ALTVOLTAGE.

What is this attribute being used for?

(clearly not used to convert the raw value to millivolts :-) )

Maybe IIO_CHAN_INFO_INT_TIME is the right one for this? Although
so far, that has only been used with light sensors.
