This is useful for cases where the number of valid scan masks grows
exponentially, but it is rather easy to check whether a mask is valid or not
programmatically.
An example of such a case is a device with multiple ADCs where each ADC has a
upstream MUX, which allows to select from a number of physical channels.
+-------+ +-------+
| | | | --- Channel 1
| ADC 1 |---| MUX 1 | --- ...
| | | | --- Channel M
+-------+ +-------+
. . .
. . .
. . .
+-------+ +-------+
| | | | --- Channel M * N + 1
| ADC N |---| MUX N | --- ...
| | | | --- Channel M * N + M
+-------+ +-------+
The number of necessary scan masks for this case is (M+1)**N - 1, on the other
hand it is easy to check whether subsets for each ADC of the scanmask have only
one bit set.
