When reading registers on the AD2S1210 chip, we have to supply a "dummy" address for the second SPI tx byte so that we don't accidentally write to a register. This register will be read and the value discarded on the next regmap read or write call. Reading the fault register has a side-effect of clearing the faults so we should not use this register for the dummy read.
