Should be not have flag for this and use regmap_ variants? If we
implement flag based approach then same driver can be reused for pinmux
configuration of external device.

Nothing stopping you from adding regmap support to it. It just needs
to be made optional as the users so far don't need it.


Yeah, absolutely.

Thinking more on this,


I do not like this, as this is not HW feature, so DT may not be right
approach.


So I will dig more from either runtime or Compile time option to use
regmap_ Vs raw read/writes.
