Can't we just do memcpy() instead of swapping the byte order twice?

There isn't any special paramters in the xfer struct, so spi_write() should
work here and save a bit of code.
return spi_write(st->spi, data, num_bytes);

Do we actually need to write 0s while reading?
Usually, we would just do a spi_write_then_read for something like
this.

Can't this all be simplified to memcpy(val_buf, &st->rx_buf[2], num_bytes); ?
Or the whole thing simplified to:
return spi_write_then_read(st->spi, reg_buf, 2, val_buf, num_bytes);
