Oh, that makes a lot of sense! We used 2^12 - 1 here based on driver
drivers/iio/resolver/ad2s1200.c, whose resolution is also 12 bits, as
the ad2s90.c. Do you think this section is, perhaps, wrong on
ad2s1200.c too, or maybe there is some difference between these two
drivers that I didn't catch regarding the resolution?
