Yes it can be very useful in abstracting the hw access in case of
busses like SPI/I2C, others, but in this case there is only one way of
doing it with the exact same registers. I am not sure it is worth it
here. FWIW, I have never played with regmaps personally, and so every
chance I can be wrong here.

What locking do you need here ?

I am not sure if it is worth it here.
