I will use current work and add traversing of regmap_range table to
get proper range definition, then use it to do the indirect access,
like paging. Most of the drivers probably will just have one
regmap_range defined for paging or indirect registers to be accessed.
If an accessed register is not matched by any range from the table, it
will be accessed directly (without any paging).

If this is better alternative, I can continue with it. In other case,
I may send you the cleaned-up patch of current solution.

Best Regards,
Krystian
