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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.
