We don't need separate lines if there is no gap. I didn't check all of the lines
but at least these last two can be combined since LTR390_THRESH_UP_BYTE(2) is
0x23 and LTR390_THRESH_LOW_BYTE(0) is 0x24.
regmap_reg_range(LTR390_THRESH_UP, LTR390_THRESH_LOW + 2),
And we could avoid adding the extra macros just for this since they
aren't used anywhere else.
