Ah. I'd missed the |= because you then didn't mask the dac_value.

Call them _MASK or _MSK rather than field.
I think that is much more common naming.

That's better.

Ok. I'd missed that we had an existing driver doing this and indeed
we have documented it.  Fair enough - I must have been persuaded in the past
and then forgotten about it :)

Ok.  Good to support that rather than a full power down.

Ok - this is fine if it's reading back from EEPROM.
Please add a comment on that though because as demonstrated above
I'm forgetful and may wonder why it was done like this in the future.
