It looks hacky to me.

If the first one has to be marked RO, I think it could be like:

  static const struct regmap_range m10bmc_regmap_ro_range[] = {
	regmap_reg_range(M10BMC_LEGACY_BUILD_VER, M10BMC_LEGACY_BUILD_VER),
  };

  static const struct regmap_range m10bmc_regmap_range[] = {
	regmap_reg_range(M10BMC_LEGACY_BUILD_VER, M10BMC_LEGACY_BUILD_VER),
	regmap_reg_range(...),
	...
  };

  static const struct regmap_access_table m10bmc_write_table = {
	.yes_ranges     = m10bmc_regmap_range,
	.n_yes_ranges   = ARRAY_SIZE(m10bmc_regmap_range),
	.no_range	= m10bmc_regmap_ro_range,
	.n_no_range	= ARRAY_SIZE(m10bmc_regmap_ro_range),
  };

  static const struct regmap_access_table m10bmc_read_table = {
	.yes_ranges     = m10bmc_regmap_range,
	.n_yes_ranges   = ARRAY_SIZE(m10bmc_regmap_range),
  };

But I think this is unnecessary. I feel it is indicating all the other
registers are RW in spec, actually they are not. So I tend to keep
it simple, just tell the valid range.
