I don't think you've really understood what the code is doing here.
While it's true that we don't ever call this function for most widget
types due to the write compression code it is actually the generic
method for applying power changes to a widget in isolation - it does a
register update surrounded by the event callbacks in the appropriate
sequence which really is something that is generic to all widgets.  A
better question if you want to refector the code here would be why these
widgets are treated differently to other widgets.
