regmap already supports bulk data access so it's not clear why we
would open code this.  Given that this is a single I2C transfer
it's also unclear why we'd need to export the regmap lock - a
single I2C transfer is atomic at the bus level so the regmap lock
isn't providing any additional concurrency protection.
