Can you elaborate on this a bit? Even if the cached value is 0, you still want
to write 0, do I understand correctly? Wouldn't it just mean that the registers
should be marked as volatile or something like that?

Hmm... If regmap_set_bits() doesn't work for you, regmap_assign_bits() will not
work either.

Yeah, some notes are new, I only referred to the old ones.
But I believe I have mentioned that the code is not needed a shuffle
as it seems already in a good place. Otherwise it's unclear from this
change why the almost unmodified code is moved around.
