It looks like you can:
static int
intel_bxtwc_pmic_regs_read(struct regmap *regmap, u16 address,
					unsigned int *value)
{
	return regmap_read(regmap, address, value);
}

But then why adding a new function for no actual use? Or you really need
to return -EIO for all possible regmap_read's error return values? I
don't see such a need.

BTW, the callback functions defined in intel_pmic_opregion_data is there
due to different PMICs have different ways to do the same thing like
turn on/off a power rail, get raw temperature reading, etc. It's not
supposed to host helper functions like the two here.

Ditto.

As said above, please drop the two callbacks.
