Subject[PATCH v8 09/14] iio: afe: rescale: fix accuracy for small fractional scales
Date
From: Liam Beguin <lvb@xiphos.com>

The approximation caused by integer divisions can be costly on smaller
scale values since the decimal part is significant compared to the
integer part. Switch to an IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_NANO scale type in such
cases to maintain accuracy.
