This is unreadable cryptic title. Make it more human-readable, like:

"Microchip MCP47F family of DAC driver"

Too many spaces, see how it's done elsewhere.

This is also unreadable, please split to groups (by family species and/or bits)
and sort each group accordingly, like

	  - E-group (8-bit): MCP47FEB01, MCP47FEB11, MCP47FEB21
	  - E-group (10-bit): MCP47FEB02, MCP47FEB12, MCP47FEB22
	  ...

Note, I put a hypothetical text there, I haven't check this for the correctness!

Avoid duplicating information, so far it can be just listed as

Or propose a better style.

I assume it's the similar case as for below 0x10-0x17 range. Perhaps do both as
a macro with a parameter?

Drop this << 3 part, just do it at run-time. Or embed them, by providing
shifted values. Also, there is special formats for regmap, perhaps that's what
you wanted to begin with? *Yes, it might need some code to be added into
drivers/base/regmap.c.

...

_MV --> _mV

Drop '_1' and use (1 * USEC_PER_MSEC) as value.

But looking at the code this makes the definition useless, just use values
directly there.

Have you ran `pahole`? Please do, and amend the data types accordingly.

Do you expect i to hold the signed value?

Blank line should go after IIO_DEVICE_ATTR()...

I stopped here, I think it's already warrants a new version.

Is the atomic op required here?

Useless check as you don't handle an error code from below anyway (means
optional property).

> +			fwnode_property_read_string(child, "label", &data->labels[reg]);

...

May you split this to add the main functionality with the subset of the
supported chips and add, for example, FxBx later in a separate patch?
This will help a lot with reviewing and pushing your patches forward.
Note, considering my comments above I don't think this will make v6.19-rc1,
so you have plenty of time to polish this and maybe even split more.
