RE: [PATCH] regmap: add virtual PMIC IPC bus support

Thanks. I don't receive this message before in eamil.
Current regmap only support register access  using several bus:  i2c, spi, ac97 ...
But register access for intel pmic are done by hardware ipc, so we add such support in regmap core,
To make pmic subdevice drivers can use generic regmap r/w API to access registers.

 
Best wishes
