You definitely can't use all the functionality due to the variable
register sizes but using reg_write() and reg_read() should get you most
of it.

What are these settings?  Are you sure they are generic settings and
not board specific?

Tell your customers to turn it on, it's a standard kernel framework and
there's really no excuse for open coding it.  If there's some reason why
runtime PM can't work for them then we should get that fixed but it
really is *very* widely deployed.
