I'm not seeing results with the "times" variable changed, but in
general, I guess the "switch regmap + page" and "switch regmap + phy
regmap" will remain neck and neck in terms of performance, surpassing
the "switch regmap restore" techniques more and more as "times"
increases. So going with a PHY regmap probably sounds good.
