I have an ov2659 sensor.  The ov2659 driver works with i2c adapter that
doesn't know I2C_FUNC_PROTOCOL_MANGLING, so it actually supports repeated
start.

But ov5645, ov5647, ov7251 drivers may want to use SCCB regmap API for
16-bit register.  Because they use i2c_master_send + i2c_master_recv
for reading register value.

Thank you for your reviewing.
