I tried this when working on v6. Only difference was I had declared ret as int.
Then reg values were not read correctly with spi_w8r8().
I'm either missing something or reg access must be 16-bit transfer.
Datasheet sais:
"The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 configuration register is read from and written to
with a 16-bit SPI instruction."
Yet, besides possible delay between first and last 8 SCLK pulses, I don't see
any transfer level differences between current and spi_w8r8() versions.
