Perhaps this is covered by a regmap_bulk_read()?

The series[1] I am working on implements a i2c smbus block data regmap
bus driver. Regmap should then automatically do a block read in
regmap_bulk_read.

Patch 15 introduces the i2c block data regmap bus driver[2].
I am only implementing this so I don't break bmc150 behavior. I do not
have the hardware available to test this regmap driver so it would be great
if someone else could test one of the next versions of this bus driver.

Best regards,

Markus
