count is never used.

This line made me scratch my head a lot.

When I see a void * parameter named data, I expect this to be a memory
region. Here, if I got this correctly, data is just a pointer to a u16
which represents the low bit of a register.

So, if you are not passing an address to a memory region but just a
single scalar, why the void *? Wouldn't it be better to just do:

  mcp251xfd_regmap_crc_write_iocon(void *context, u16 reg)

                                                                  ^^^^^^^^

This also uses the const void* data, except that here, this is kind of
forced by the prototype of the write() callback function from struct
regmap_bus. Also, count is properly used.

After changing the prototype of mcp251xfd_regmap_crc_write_iocon(),
this would then become:

                return mcp251xfd_regmap_crc_write_iocon(context, reg);
