Yes, each works - either way I think we can probably come up with some
helpers in the header which hide the actual implementation from the
drivers or at least makes it obvious that this is the way to do things.
The supply widgets approach wouldn't need any changes in the core but
then generalising the two register code isn't a bad thing anyway.
