Hi Andy, thank you for your review.

Yes, in continuous read mode the ADC outputs just the conversion result bits
(24-bits) so a 3-byte length transfer is enough to get the conversion data for a
channel.

It goes up to 89 columns if make in one line. I know there are other places in
this driver where 80 columns are exceeded, but in this case it's easier to
avoid going beyond 80 columns without drying up the error message.
Anyway, I'll make it one line if it's confirmed to be the preferable way to have
it.

Thanks,
Marcelo
