Just some minor stuff from me... With that addressed (at least the 'else if' stuff):

This mode is not really supported for now and in theory we can't really have
adc->spi_mode = AD7944_SPI_MODE_CHAIN, right? So, I would just make this the
'default' branch and not care about chain mode (implementing it when adding it).

I'm fine in having this now but shouldn't we only have the above when we do support
chain mode? A bit odd having it when we don't even allow chain mode.
