I won't push strongly, but in my experience it's error-prone, as it's
easy to select the incorrect number of bytes. That's what led me to
create this mechanism to bundle register addresses and sizes, it has
simplified my life when writing drivers. I think it should actually be
turned into a helper, possibly provided by regmap.
