Couldn't you do a regmap_block_write or a regmap_multi_reg_write which
would be more efficient as they would be locking the regmap only once.

Note that this won't compile after
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/abelloni/linux.git/commit/?id=fdcfd854333be5b30377dc5daa9cd0fa1643a979

We can solve that with immutable branches though.
