iio-rescale has recently gained support for processed.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio.git/commit/drivers/iio/afe/iio-rescale.c?h=testing&id=53ebee9499805add3eef630d998c40812e6a1c39
dpot-dac is a rather obscure special case, so I doubt you actually have one of those.
If iio-mux is relevant then we should add processed support to that driver as well.

I would rather see those users of the interface fixed than us
having to tweak lots of drivers to provide _raw when it isn't appropriate for
that piece of hardware.
