Replace raw configuration register values by using FIELD_PREP and

Hi Joe,
quoted
I think the naming is a bit confusing as it appears as if
these bitfield ranges are single bits.
That makes sense.
Would AD7949_CFG_BITS_* be good enough?
Sure, or add MASK or something else like AD7949_CFG_MASK_INCC.

It's pretty common to define _MASK and _SHIFT for these types
of uses.

For instance:
include/drm/drm_dp_helper.h-# define DP_DSC_MAJOR_MASK                  (0xf << 0)
include/drm/drm_dp_helper.h-# define DP_DSC_MINOR_MASK                  (0xf << 4)
include/drm/drm_dp_helper.h:# define DP_DSC_MAJOR_SHIFT                 0
include/drm/drm_dp_helper.h:# define DP_DSC_MINOR_SHIFT                 4
