Misguided attempt in the early days of IIO to match hwmon units. Sadly it is now the ABI and hence 'unfixable'. Same odd units for voltage and current + a few others that date back to those days. A big oops. There are some other non obvious bits and pieces so should always check the ABI docs which should be near complete.
