This feels like we're getting ourselves confused about nonincrementing
registers and probably have other breakage somewhere else - we're
already checking for nonincrementability in regmap_write_noinc(), and
here we're only checking if the first register in the block has that
property which might blow up on us if there's a register in the middle
of the block that is nonincrementable.  If we're going to check this
here I think we should check on every register, but this is
_raw_write_impl() which is part of the call path for implementing
regmap_noinc_write() so checking here will break the API purpose
designed for nonincrementing writes.
