Mathematically it's not linear, since the per channel (gamma) curves are

a power like function.

ICC profiles are stored as PCS white (D50) normalized. The white point tag
represents the native white point of the device. (Not true for V4 display
profiles though, which force the white point tag to be D50 as well).

I'd say "device white point to PCS white point".
