Re: [alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/3] regmap: Properly round reg_bytes and val_bytes

Clearly we *can* but there's other bits (chiefly the cache code once we acquire the ability to do block operations from cache) which really want stuff to be 8 bit aligned. I deliberately chose to make things byte aligned so we have to think about this stuff before we do things that make byte aligned stuff hard, it felt like if we were going to take a complexity hit we probably want it to be on the odd register formats as pretty much all of the more demanding modern devices seem to be going for multiples of 8 bits.

Understood. I'd think we will find a non-intrusive way when a more generic format_x_y-function seems worthwhile.
