I believe the preferred placement of __packed attribute is after the
definition:

dtor@...r-ws:~/kernel/work $ git grep "struct __packed" | wc -l
210
dtor@...r-ws:~/kernel/work $ git grep "} __packed" | wc -l
8718

I think this can be moved out of while loop.

I also wonder if this can be actually combined with raydium_i2c_read().
As far as I understand read/writes to register above 255 require
page select write, so we can always prepare the header and then submit
either 3 or 2 messages in the transfer depending on the register we are
dealing with. Or maybe convert to regmap?

Thanks.
