Hi,

This looks really good. A few minor comments inline.

Is there any chance of a race condition of getting inconsistent data 
when splitting this over two reads? I.e. registers being updated with 
new values in between the two reads.

`fallthrough` should not be needed for multiple case statements right on top of each other with no code in between. Same below

ADC_MASK should really have a MAX5970_ prefix, but I guess it is defined 
in max597x.h

For the devm allocations we should be using &pdev->dev and not the I2C 
device, since this is the device to which the allocations belong and 
where they should be freed when the device is removed.

Consider using dev_err_probe() for error message printing. This will 
give a consistent formatting of the messages. Also again use &pdev->dev 
instead of I2C device to get the right device listed in the error messages.

The IIO ABI wants the type of the chip for the name. E.g. "max5970", 
using dev_name() of the parent I2C device will result in something else.
