I'd say that we shouldn't use the regmap abstraction in this case or
have a driver-specific backend implementation for it. I guess the
common case is "regs are accessed in SDR mode", so let's keep the name
as it is now and we'll define devm_regmap_init_i3c_hdr() if we ever
need it. Please make it explicit in the kernel-doc that we're using SDR
transfers here.
