What command do you use to read the register? DCS? If so, sounds rather
strange HW implementation.

If you use generic commands, for which you have support in your kernel,
I think it's better to add both write and read support at the same time.
Adding just read support, without any way to actually use the read,
doesn't sound sensible.
