Hi Andy,

Thank you again for your feedback. When I was writing it, it was 
looking as a magic number to me as well but then I though that 
since I put the comment above it could be obvious. Now that I see 
it again, I think it was not a good idea and maybe some type of 
definition like

	#define BMP280_BURST_READ_NUM_BYTES 6
	#define BME280_BURST_READ_NUM_BYTES 8

could look better and be more intuitive.

In the next line from your comment the _le24 or _be24 takes place.
If the sign_extend32() is needed here, shouldn't it also be used
in all the oneshot captures as well?

In a previous commit that I was fixing this SPI driver, Jonathan had mentioned
that there is no need for a specific definition since it will only be used
here so that's why I kept it as is.
