Yes, currently all callers are calling with 1 byte but when we will add 
rtc (which is not there currently), at that time, it may call multibyte 
read/write.
The interface is such that it can support multi-byte transfer. And when 
using for single byte transfer (currently) and if it is cached, 
regmap_raw_write() is creating warnings and that's why I broken transfer 
in multi-transfer in tps65910.c which was not a good idea..
