This could explain the advantages of converting to regmap. Looking at
this diffstat above, it's not immediately obvious that there's an
advantage because you end up adding 5 lines.

Again I'm guessing this is in preparation to add endianess support, and
it will be really easy to add that using regmap, so the gains will only
become obvious later on.

That's the kind of thing I'd like to see in the patch description. It
tells me why this patch makes sense.
