I'm also thinking how to write this difference like as comments or a seperate enum.
But if to define a new enum, many function about the regfield controls must be seperated
for 6056 and 6059.

What if to keep the original coding, just to rename the different part like as below
F_SADC -> F_RTQ6059_SDAC
F_BADC -> F_RTQ6059_BADC
F_PGA -> F_RTQ6059_PGA

At least, the nameing already shows the difference between 6056 and 6059.
Only these three parts are different, others are the same like as F_OPMODE, F_RESET.
