Then add a a return type that deals with that issue.
Perhaps IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL_DIVMILLION or
something like that.  Will just do the normal calculation but when outputting
append a load of leading zeros.  So val/(val2 * 1000000) = (val/val2) / 1000000
so decimal shift right 6 digits.

Indeed, I wouldn't even have read the cover letter (tend to like jumping in the
deep end ;) except that I wondered what Daniel was commenting on!
