Hi,

I think regmap be overkill for this driver. Here we need access to a 
small number of registers.  Registers are extremely simple on the 
internal device. As a result, the software layer of regmap will only 
complicate the readability and understanding of the code. And also 
increase the size and time of code execution, and even complicate the 
perception.

No problems. Once this set of patches will be accepted in the mainline.
