hmm, I copied this from another driver, but spi_sync() in IRQ handler 
does not sound like a good idea (spi_sync() can sleep). I will replace 
it with spi_async().

I'm not sure if I am doing this right. There are 8- 10- and 12-bit 
versions of this chip. The 8- and 10-bit versions still return a 12-bit 
number where the last 4 or 2 bits are always 0. Should I be shifting the 
12-bit value here based on the chip being used so that *val is 0-255 for 
8-bit and 0-1023 for 10-bit? Or should this be *really* raw and not even 
use TI_ADS7950_EXTRACT() to mask the channel address bits?
