Are you sure? This is a I2S driver, we can write the register directly,
do not through I2C or SPI bus.
Write a register is only a few instructions on ARM, but write through
regmap, it may take a long path.
I think it will just consume CPU power and make the whole thing more
complex.
Could you tell me what benefits we can get if use regmap? Or something I
just missing?
