That would break, in _regmap_read_raw():

	ret = map->bus->read(map->bus_context, map->work_buf,
			     map->format.reg_bytes + map->format.pad_bytes,
			     val, val_len);

If pad_bytes was 1 here, then the register size would end up being 2 bytes.

The way I understood the pad_bytes field was it was the number of _complete_ 
padding bytes (ie, full 8 bits) between the register address and value. Any 
remainder of padding bits is incorporated into the register and shifted by 
shift bits.

If we want to cover everything, we could do reg_bytes + pad_bytes + val_bytes 
+ 3 ... :) (I'm not seriously suggesting that).
