+ * About determining pressure scaling factors
+ * ------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * Datasheets specify typical pressure sensitivity so that pressure is computed
+ * according to the following equation :
+ * pressure[mBar] = raw / sensitivity
+ * where :
+ * raw the 24 bits long raw sampled pressure
+ * sensitivity a scaling factor specified by the datasheet in LSB/mBar
+ *
+ * IIO ABI expects pressure to be expressed as kPascal, hence pressure should be
+ * computed according to :
+ * pressure[kPascal] = pressure[mBar] / 10
+ * = raw / (sensitivity * 10) (1)
+ *
+ * Finally, st_press_read_raw() returns pressure scaling factor as an
+ * IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_NANO with a zero integral part and "gain" as decimal part.
+ * Therefore, from (1), "gain" becomes :
+ * gain = 10^9 / (sensitivity * 10)
+ * = 10^8 / sensitivity
+ *
+ * About determining temperature scaling factors and offsets
+ * ---------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * Datasheets specify typical temperature sensitivity and offset so that
+ * temperature is computed according to the following equation :
+ * temp[Celsius] = offset[Celsius] + (raw / sensitivity)
+ * where :
+ * raw the 16 bits long raw sampled temperature
+ * offset a constant specified by the datasheet in degree Celsius
+ * (sometimes zero)
+ * sensitivity a scaling factor specified by the datasheet in LSB/Celsius
+ *
+ * IIO ABI expects temperature to be expressed as milli degree Celsius such as
+ * user space should compute temperature according to :
+ * temp[mCelsius] = temp[Celsius] * 10^3
+ * = (offset[Celsius] + (raw / sensitivity)) * 10^3
+ * = ((offset[Celsius] * sensitivity) + raw) *
+ * (10^3 / sensitivity) (2)
+ *
+ * IIO ABI expects user space to apply offset and scaling factors to raw samples
+ * according to :
+ * temp[mCelsius] = (OFFSET + raw) * SCALE
+ * where :
+ * OFFSET an arbitrary constant exposed by device
+ * SCALE an arbitrary scaling factor exposed by device
+ *
+ * Matching OFFSET and SCALE with members of (2) gives :
+ * OFFSET = offset[Celsius] * sensitivity (3)
+ * SCALE = 10^3 / sensitivity (4)
+ *
+ * st_press_read_raw() returns temperature scaling factor as an
+ * IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL with a 10^3 numerator and "gain2" as denominator.
+ * Therefore, from (3), "gain2" becomes :
+ * gain2 = sensitivity
+ *
+ * When declared within channel, i.e. for a non zero specified offset,
+ * st_press_read_raw() will return the latter as an IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL such as :
+ * numerator = OFFSET * 10^3
+ * denominator = 10^3
+ * giving from (4):
+ * numerator = offset[Celsius] * 10^3 * sensitivity
+ * = offset[mCelsius] * gain2
