The LTC2495 and LTC2499 include an internal temperature sensor. This
patch adds support for reading it via a standard IIO temperature
channel.

Don't remember if we have something like MICROVOLT_PER_MILLIVOLT.

I.o.w. make it more explicit, otherwise those dangling equal signs are
not helpful.

I remember we have some constants in units.h for degrees, but don't
remember if they are for Kelvin only or Celsius also included. Please,
check and use, if available.

Are those bit masks / bits in the register? Offsets?

This is really strange naming for... what exactly? Can a comment be added?

Then simply add a (mV, yes, with capital V) suffix to the field name.

Have you run `pahole`? Does it agree with the proposed layout?
