Hi Mark,

Thanks for reviewing.

We did discuss this a while back when the driver first went in.
Unfortunately the vendor software tools provide configuration for the
part in the form of a sequence of raw register writes, including
explicit page changes:

    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Yd85bjKEX9JnoOlI@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Aside from this, I have two other practical issues.

The first is that I'm not sure how exactly to implement the paging
scheme in terms of regmap_range_cfg (assuming this is what you're
referring to). This chip has multi-level paging (books/pages), with the
book selection register itself requiring paging to access. A sequence of
three register writes is therefore required in the general case to
select the correct page. I had a quick look at a random assortment of
existing regmap_range_cfg uses, but didn't find anything that looked
like the same problem.

Secondly, the patches as submitted here have been tested, but I don't
currently have access to hardware. I'm very hesitant to make a
significant change without retesting and leave the driver in a broken
state again.

Cheers,
Daniel
