Too much info.  We definitely don't need mention it turns on the power
or that the data goes standard paths.

A couple of minor things inline. 

Thanks,

Tidy up the \ as there doesn't seem to be any standard arrangement going on here.

Similar to below - you might as well initialize the one value.

Check for bits of alignment of code that have become wrong over time.

Might as well do
		struct osf_iio_scan_3axis scan = {
			.values[0] = values[0],
			.values[1] = values[1],
			.values[2] = values[2],
		};
Similar for other cases.
