Indeed we cannot achieve 1 MHz yet, but I believe it is good have this
now so it is more mature for the time SPI offload is supported. Also, will
allow us to backport this patch to other repos.

Right, that is true, but the reason we did this patch was to fix the
output size when we configure the filter to sinc5 decx8. The datasheet
says:
To configure the sinc5 filter for 1.024 MSPS output data rate,
write 001 to the FILTER bits [6:4] of the DIGITAL_FILTER register
(Register 0x19). The ADAQ7768-1 automatically changes the decimation
rate to 8 and output data length is reduced to 16 bits from 24 bits
due to the maximum speed limitation of the digital serial interface.
In this case we don't even need to change the value of CONVLEN

This is because the hw is configured to return the samples in a 32 bits
format, so if storage is 16 we will get wrong data.
