I'm confused by the statement that the registers are not incremental.

For example, this patch defines...

+#define AD485X_REG_CHX_OFFSET_LSB(ch)	AD485X_REG_CHX_OFFSET(ch)
+#define AD485X_REG_CHX_OFFSET_MID(ch)	(AD485X_REG_CHX_OFFSET_LSB(ch) + 0x01)
+#define AD485X_REG_CHX_OFFSET_MSB(ch)	(AD485X_REG_CHX_OFFSET_MID(ch) + 0x01)

This looks exactly like reg_addr, reg_addr+1, reg_addr+2 to me.
