It is quite strange that BMA222 and BMA222E have very close, yet
subtly different values in their scale tables. Comparing the datasheets
this is simply because the "Resolution" for the different measurement
ranges are documented with different precision.

For example, for +-2g the BMA222 datasheet [1] suggests a resolution
of 15.6 mg/LSB, while the BMA222E datasheet [2] suggests 15.63 mg/LSB.

Actually, there is no need to rely on the resolution given by the Bosch
datasheets. The resolution and scale can be calculated more consistently
and accurately using the range (e.g. +-2g) and the channel size (e.g. 8 bits).

Distributing 4g (-2g to 2g) over 8 bits results in an exact resolution
of (4g / 2^8) = 15.625 mg/LSB which is the same value as in both datasheets,
just slightly more accurate. Multiplying g = 9.80665 m/s^2 we get a more
accurate value for the IIO scale table.

Generalizing this we can calculate the scale tables more accurately using
(range / 2^bits) * g * 10^6 (because of IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_MICRO).

Document this and make the scale tables more consistent and accurate
for all the variants using that formula. Now the scale tables for
BMA222 and BMA222E are consistent and probably slightly more accurate.
