Hi!
Well it depends on where we want to create the default cache values.
Either we run through a for..loop during driver probe and delay device start
up or we keep the simple arrays and increase the driver total size.
for loop will be better.
Plus, REGCACHE_RBTREE is very likely overkill.
Well if I eliminate the reg_cache then I can eliminate the defaults too.
I'm not asking for that. But please investigate REGCACHE_FLAT.

After looking at this a loop makes no sense here. The regmap call back
values are determined at build time not during runtime.
Adding a loop here makes the code more complex just to reduce the
overall LoC. In adding the loop the reg_default array will have to be
re-allocated and copied at run time and then be expanded to include the
additional values.
And the regmap defaults call backs will need to be updated to reflect
the new values. And these are part of a const struct because the
devm_regmap_init declares the config as a const.
.reg_defaults = lp5012_reg_defs,
.num_reg_defaults = ARRAY_SIZE(lp5012_reg_defs),
So I am not sure that adding a loop here just to eliminate some LoC is
adding any value here. I can remove the #defines for the unused runtime
registers and hard code the additional register addresses in the default
array. That will at least eliminate some LoC and reduce the object size.
I have no issue with using the REGCACHE_FLAT so I will make that change.
