If this is for all registers, how does stuff like DAPM work, which uses the
framework internal update_bits function?

If it's the case that the write address is always read address + 1 you can
still use the framework if you set write_flag_mask to 0x01 in your regmap
config. In my opinion it even makes sense to shift all the register numbers
to the left by one and use a 7/9 instead of a 8/8 addr/reg layout. This will
reduce the amount of memory wasted due to holes in the register cache.
