No. Tolino Shine 3 and Kobo Clara HD have such things. There you have a
/sys/class/backlight/backlight_{cold,warm}.

well if we want to read from it, there need to be some function for it.
But if... I do not see anything worth to read besides of version.
I think we can leave ouf val_format_endian because a lot of stuff is
bypassed if no bus is set in regmap_init().
There is e.g. a goto skip_format_initialization.

yes, I will change it.

Yes, devm_regmap_init_i2c() sets a different set of callbacks depending
on circumstances. Seems to be the easiest way to avoid duplicating too
much code. I really hope that there are not so much devices requiring
such a dirty stuff that adding such thing to the generic regmap code
would be justified.

Yes, that might be a good idea.
