Well, ideally, when the atomisp-specific sensor ioctls go away, we can
merge the atomisp-specific sensor drivers for not-yet-uptreamed sensors
or modify the existing sensor drivers to accept the atomisp resolutions [1].

So, for now, I wouldn't convert those to use regmap. This can be done
later with the remaining drivers.

[1] atomisp usually requires 16 extra lines/columns for it to work, so
the current sensor drivers there allow setting resolutions like
1616x1216 at the sensor, while offering 1600x1200 resolution to
userspace.

Thanks,
Mauro
