Making checkpatch happy is not a good reason for a change on it's own.
It is only there for guidance. It is not a strict rule that has to be
followed.

I think this is a good change because it reduces duplication of the
return statements and eliminates an unreachable break statement. So
write the commit message with that reasoning and don't mention checkpatch.

A 'whilst I was looking at this code' comment below if you want to take
on an additional minor readability improvement.  Whilst it is a bit
churn heavy given touching most of the code you are changing here, I think
it would still need to be a separate follow on patch.  Also do check my
suggestion carefully as I may have missed something!

thanks,

A whilst we are here comment.

This is 2**16  So maybe can use chan->real_bits
to provide a form of documentation of where it comes from and
then return IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL_LOG2;
