I don't know all the devices and modes well enough if the current raw
read/write buffers always translate to (only) buf[0] being the register
address.

If you tell me I can assume just that, I'm happy to do a larger change
that completely does aways with the current raw buffers.

Otherwise:

Does is make sense to *add* just a few regmap calls but keep the current
i2c_transfer in place for the calls I'm not sure about? I could do that
in any case.

thanks!
