What is the user visible result of this? Do we detect errors when none
are there? Do we have a datasheet reference for the status being
update on the read command, not after the trigger?

A few comments inline.

This completely removes the check from the _fill_buffer() path

returning a positive value here is unusual enough you should add a comment for
the function + use that return value.

No longer gated on ret & data->def->ctrl_masks[ST1_DRDY] which seems unintentional.
Still need a check on ret here.

And this one ends up redundant I think which suggests to me the
code is inserted a few lines early.
