Really unhappy with the dual licensing for regmap code, this is
interface code for some GPL only kernel code and...

Given that the bus appears to support bulk operations why are we
implementing this with reg_read() and reg_write()?

...this is just an obvious attempt to allow non-GPL code to directly use
GPL code.
