For filenames I've no strong preference - though perhaps if I'd been
starting out today I might have decided the convention was to always
add a vendor because of the slight risk of a naming clash.

Whilst it might be fairly obvious that we are going to do double reg reads
against these, having the register names match the datasheet is useful.
But in this case the datasheet register map does given them a top level
label without the LO, HI so either option would be easy to find.

Normally go with datasheet on this as it makes reviewer simpler.
But datasheet is in binary so meh.

Perhaps a cross reference to the table in the spec is appropriate here?
whilst there are some patterns they aren't terribly consistent so probably
best to just point at the table in the spec.

It's not immediately obvious why it is that many f's. Perhaps change
to refer to number of bits (which is what matters really I think)
and then use GENMASK() to fill this in? I think it's 52 bits?

Conversion is trivial. I agree with Andy here that the logic would look
a bit simpler as (taking it a little further)
ch0 = max(1, le16_to_cpu(res[0]));

Given all the earlier returns and the fact that the compiler will shout at
you if it you can get here and it is missing, I'd also suggest just putting
it in the switch statement.
