Current drift values

Yes, it looks like hardcoded calibration values could give sufficient results.
But it would be even better to read the values from the config file to give the user the possibility to refine the calibration if ever necessary.

Additionally i changed CurrentResistor to 7.5 (real value of the burden resistor on the board) and OffsetCurrent to 1.032 to get more accurate current readings.

Measured with DER EE LCR meter in mine:
R1 = 7.420 ohm
R2 = 7.430
R3 = 7.435
RN = 7.435
Measurement tolerance is +/-1%

Indeed, on photos of SmarPi board it can be seen that soldered resistors have a code of 7R5 which means 7.5 ohm.
Don't understand wehere they have found a 7.0714 ohm value.

Why 1.032? Have you measured with some calibrated meter? I think it should be 1.0, you have also xIGAIN registers for calibration, however I don't understand if these xIGAIN registers are needed at all, because you can multiply the result like it's already made, this facilatates the calibration. Perhaps they are used to maximize the accuracy of the calculated power.

But there is more, the sequence of initializing the ADE7878 is very different as manufacturer decribes it:

- Initialize the AIGAIN, BIGAIN, CIGAIN, and NIGAIN registers. 
- Start the DSP by setting run = 1. 
-  Initialize all the other data memory RAM registers. Write the last register in the queue three times to ensure its value was written into the RAM. Initialize all of the other ADE7854/ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 registers with the exception of the CFMODE register. 
-  Read the energy registers xWATTHR, xFWATTHR, xVARHR, xFVARHR, and xVAHR to erase their content and start energy accumulation from a known state. 
-  Clear Bit 9 (CF1DIS), Bit 10 (CF2DIS), and Bit 11 (CF3DIS) in the CFMODE register to enable pulses at the CF1, CF2, and CF3 pins. Do this initialization last, so no spurious pulses are generated while the ADE7854/ ADE7858/ADE7868/ADE7878 are initialized. 
-  Enable the write protection by writing 0xAD to an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7FE, followed by a write of 0x80 to an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7E3. 
-  Read back all data memory RAM registers to ensure they were initialized with the desired values. 
-  In the remote case that one or more registers are not initialized correctly, disable the protection by writing 0xAD to an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7FE, followed by a write of 0x00 to an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7E3. Reinitialize the registers. Write the last register in the queue three times. Enable the write protection by writing 0xAD to an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7FE, followed by a write of 0x80 to an internal 8-bit register located at Address 0xE7E3


Indeed, I can confirm that xIRMSOS registers are not always writen.
