Cool, this series really gets better and better each time. Thank you for
keeping at it! And thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I really
like how we do not introduce a couple of i2c_sccb_* functions with a
need to export them. And given the nature of regmap, I'd think it should
be fairly easy to add support for ov2659 somewhen which has 16 bit
registers? Only minor nits:

Sort these?

Mark: __i2c_smbus_xfer is a dependency on i2c/for-next. Do you want an
immutable branch for that?

But in general (especially for the I2C parts):
