Indeed, regmap-spi would be a client of this driver.  Though there is
regmap-mmio which may be helpful, on the other hand it's relatively
heavyweight and SPI can be a bit performance sensitive so perhaps it's
not awesome here.  Russell did mention the idea of some helpers along a
similar style though, they may be a good idea but nobody wrote them yet.
