That sounds indeed useful for this case. How'd the following interface
sound for the register offset / selector-to-register-value conversion?
The I2C address would be a bit trickier to get as it would touch the
regmap stuff as well, but perhaps it would be a good idea to have a
phandle to the I2C device itself, and then parse the reg field for
the address.
