This is a bit hard to review due to the way the diff comes out, it's not
entirely clear what the code comes out looking like and I'm a bit
nervous about what the gains might be since macro conversions often
obscure things (this is making the macros undocumented for example).
Creating the new function and then using it in a separate patch would be
better.

_raw specifically means something that works with the direct physical
data format within regmap, a different name would be better.

This is abuse of the ternery operator where a normal if statement would
do, and it's also rewriting a bool into a bool so a simple assignment is
enough.

This looks like it renames update_bits() to write_bits()...

...but we don't seem to use it?  The new name is also a bit confusing.
