As it only ever has one element, is there a clear advantage over
just embedding the spi_message in the structure rather than
as a separate allocation? You'd need the transfer as well.

	spi_message_init_with_transfers(st->msg, &st->trans, 1);

The transfer is then also available without walking the list (though
obviously you don't walk very far ;).

Would avoid freeing explicitly here or later if it was embedded in
struct ad7380_state

Also, this doesn't seem very dynamic in general. Anything stopping this
being done at probe() as a one time thing?
