Hi David,

Why does regmap bring benefits here? This seems to be a like for like
change (no use of additional helpers / caching etc) so I'm not immediately
seeing the advantage.

Various comments inline. Main one is this is doing several not particularly
closely related changes that belong in separate patches.

This implies all 3 of you were involved in this update. If that's not
the case perhaps just add a new copyright line for this change.

Splitting this write into the on and off cases is a change that is
not closely related to regmap change, so probably wants to be in a separate
patch.

As below. Not obvious to me why we'd want to move this.

I'm never a big fan of conflating use of one variable for the register value
(where value is a reasonable name) and the field extract from it where
it's not really. scale_idx or something like that would make more sense for
this second case.

Looks like an unrelated change. Possibly even one that isn't worth making.

This is confusing two things. I'd prefer a precursor patch that
adds the local variable followed by one that adds the regmap stuff.

Moving this out here doesn't look like a change related to regmap.
Generally I'd prefer that stayed next to where the power on is as this
is not obviously undoing the al3010_init() given naming etc.
