I can't tell from this changelog what exactly you're trying to
implement here...

Please make the entire comment a C++ one so things look more
intentional.

I can't see what seq_file.h is used for, which is probably good
TBH since the interfaces it offers don't look like things I'd
expect a regmap bus to use.

This all looks very specific to one particular implementation,
requiring a particular set of memory mapped registers and
operations - things like the initial read of the command for
example. It's not clear to me how much reuse this is likely to
see outside of the one driver you're trying to add - if you want
to implement something device specific you can just provide
the custom operations in the device's regmap configuration rather
than having to provide a bus. Why add a bus?
