Thanks for the review. As i said this is my first time submitting a
patch. I have looked at already existing spi dac drivers for reference
but i seemed to have missed quite a lot. But the comments are greatly
appreciated.

I will try to add all the small suggestions i dont mention explicitly,
like style issues or using guard instead of manual lock/unlock to v2.

I think i would add the suggestion from David Lechner to remove the
internal_ref property completly and add "the way of doing optional
voltage references". This includes using the macro
DAC8163_INTERNAL_REF_mV. Would this be acceptable?

Yes this is a command which isnt used at this point. But maybe it makes
sense to reset the DAC first when probing.
