Oops, I should have read on a few emails. Replied to the previous version in the main
thread. Sorry about that!

Most of the registers on the ADE7878 and even more so on the ADE9000, would have nothing to do with the user space app. Most of these registers are used purely for configuration, settings and calibration.
