SLIMbus supports upto 16 bytes in value management messages, so add support to raw read/writes upto 16 bytes.
That's not what raw access is. It's unmediated access to existing registers, not some other thing with completely different register sizes which you can't see through the register map. The intended use is for things like fast firmware downloads. If it's not part of the register map we shouldn't be going through regmap to get to it.
Also useful for paged register access on SLIMbus interfaced codecs.
That needs a bunch more explanation... in what way does raw access relate to paged register maps?
