I asked you to add this "mod_devicetable.h" header previously. But I noticed some reviews by Uwe 
to use more specific headers. 
In your case these should be 


#include <linux/device-id/spi.h>
#include <linux/device-id/of.h>

unless I'm missing something.

Since the MASKs are defined together, align the values.

+#define LDAC_CHANNEL_A_MASK	BIT(0)
+#define LDAC_CHANNEL_B_MASK	BIT(1)
+#define VREF_MASK		BIT(0)

These resolution values are repeated multiple times. I think they could be defined as something like
#define DAC8163_RES_12_BIT	12 // 14, 16

Put val on the same line as val2. i.e.,
+static int dac8163_read_raw(struct iio_dev *indio_dev,
+			    struct iio_chan_spec const *chan,
+			    int *val, int *val2, long mask)

Missing trailing comma here.

Why are these defined inside probe? Should be defined outside the function.

Use "dev_err_probe"
return dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(st->regmap),
				     "regmap initialization failed\n");

Missing trailing commas here too, this and the ones below.
