I'd failed to register (until noticing it in a review a few mins ago) that we have
have precedence for devices doing this device-address in the SPI transfer thing.
The mcp3911 does it as well.  Obviously that doesn't rule out us doing something
different with this one though.  

I think we should take the view this is relatively uncommon and go with this
simple vendor specific dt-binding approach.  Always nice to do something more
general, but sometimes it isn't worth the effort.
