Why won't you be able to just use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() directly 
with those your sequences? Ok, if you just dislike the long name, and if 
you have a number of them, I might buy that as a valid reason:-) And yes, 
it'd be good to add such a helper function in a separate patch, preceding 
the actual functional changes. But then I'd probably suggest to name, that 
offers an even greater saving of your monitor real estate and is more 
similar to what other drivers use, something like ov2640_reg_write() and 
also add an ov2640_reg_read() for symmetry.
