I don't think that's a typo. The non-patched version makes a lot more sense
then the patched vesion.

Yup, that's me using some 'more unusual' English terminology, Perhaps the word
'dropped' would be clearer.
Also, that comment is now a little misleading as it is unusual / undesirable
to now do this in an individual driver. The core demux code should take care
of it.
Hmm.. I'll make a note to reread the comments in that driver and see if any
others could do with a refresh.

Yes it is misleading now, non-patched version makes a lot more sense then patched
version.
but because of unusual english, should i use dropped and to send new patch or to just
leave it.
(it would be bit easy to understand in first shot with "dropped".)

I'd drop that whole section of the comment (software culled hardware scans:)
(and amend the first line to say Two common options here:
However, we should have a mention of the fact that the core will cut them down
by dropping unwanted channels.
Perhaps add a note to the 'hardware scans:' section along the lines of.
Note, the hardware scan may contain additional channels not requested by
a given buffer interface. The IIO core will peform the necessary
demultiplexing operations to deliver data for only those channels requested
for the buffered interface (typically by userspace).
Feel free to rewrite that for clarity!
