I followed your advice on using max310x as a template. One thing that I'm
struggling to get right is the regmap. The datasheet[1] specifies the
register bits as follows:

Table 33. Register address byte (I2C)
Bit Name Function
7 - not used
6:3 A[3:0] UART's internal register select
2:1 CH1,0 channel select: CH1 = 0, CH0 = 0
Other values are reserved and should not be used.
0 - not used

So, I need to shift the register address by 3. Here is how I have defined
the regmap stuff:

------------->8-----------------

I'm not sure that I have this defined correctly. I also saw in
regmap_config pad_bits, which I've tried setting to SC16IS7XX_REG_SHIFT,
but when I do that, I get -EINVAL failure.

Thanks,
