I'd add a flag to allow no-bus devices to choose, possibly as part of a separate "bus" configuration thing that gets configured with a separate init function. > + if (!bus) { > + map->cache_registers = true; > + goto skip_format_initialization; > + } else { > + map->reg_read = _regmap_bus_read; > + } Not sure I understand cache_registers here. Why has this flag been added? > + * @reg_read: Optional callback that if filled will be used to perform > + * all the reads from the registers. > + * @reg_write: Optional callback that if filled will be used to perform > + * all the writes to the registers. I'd probably add some comment about not using this in conjunction with SPI or I2C.
