Told ya. No matter how many times I go through it, I always find
something. I will prepare v3 with fixes, except for some additional
questions below.

Can you explain a bit more? I was looking in kernel doc, but could not
find much about how to comment these members.

Should indeed be &&, if it is needed at all. Both are boolean types.

I cant, sensor does not support it and single read case did not work
few years back, but maybe regmap now improved...

That we should break the loop once channels up to 19 are filled (we
read 17 18 and 19 in this case, we read 1 2 in normal case). A comment
maybe here?
