Great catch; indeed you are correct. Apologies for having missed this
in the change log; this is good to know in the future.

That being said, it's a moot point IMO; this driver seems like a good
candidate for regmap. If regmap cannot be made to work here for some
reason, then I'd like to at least see some wrapper functions to avoid
duplicate code and manual assignments to a buffer.

Kind regards,
Jeff LaBundy
