I really appreciate the effort, yet I fear that this is a show stopper. It gets
open coded what regmap is trying to abstract, adding complexity to the driver
instead of (probably) reducing it. We could also get caching basically for
free, if this is desired. I think the regmap approach should have been tried
before we go custom. sound/soc/codecs/ad193x.c might give an impression how
regmap spi/i2c in one driver could look like.

Thanks,
