Hmm... Why is the existing regmap debugfs not enough? OK, maybe adding
something (clearing bits) to the actual CRC PMIC driver.
(You also can add a write callback so regmap will provide the write
access to the registers).

Have not a doc at hand. Next week I will try to dig into it to see if
there is anything regarding it.
