I think we are on the same page in regards to were we want to go.

I never said that I wanted to remove the wrappers, they hide the function 
from the implementation which is good in two ways, the user doesn't have to 
deal with the details implementation and secondly we can update the 
implementation without having to update the users.

What this series does, first moves everything related to ASoC level IO to 
soc-io.c and then starts cleaning it up. For now we still have to maintain 
some of the ASoC level IO implementation like snd_soc_update_bits() since 
not all drivers are using regmap yet. Once all have been converted 
snd_soc_component_write(...) boils down to regmap_write(component->regmap, 
...), then we can move it to a header and make it static inline and remove 
soc-io.c.
