Please make the entire comment a C++ one so things look more
intentional.

If any part of an if/else has { } then all of them should.

This external amplifier support shouldn't be here, if there's other
devices in the system then they will have their own drivers and the
machine driver will take care of linking things together.

It would be better to explicitly put the chip into reset and then bring
it out of reset if there's a GPIO, that way the chip is in a known
state.

devm_regmap_init_spi()

I'm assuming this is for the case where the device has a flash attached
to the master SPI port I can see described on the web site and can boot
off it - if that's the case I think it'd be clearer for the DT to
explicitly say that rather than this indirected property.
