[RFC] iio: magnetometer: mlx90393 - regmap vs command-based access

Hi,
I am working on adding support for the MLX90393 magnetometer.
The device uses a command-based protocol (e.g. SM, RM, RR)
rather than a traditional register map.
Before proceeding, I wanted to clarify the preferred design:
- Should regmap be used in such cases, even without a linear
register map?
- Or is it acceptable to implement a custom command-based
abstraction layer?
My understanding is that regmap may not be a good fit here,
but I would appreciate guidance before implementing.
Also, pointers to similar IIO drivers would be helpful.
Thanks,
Nikhil Gautam
