Yes, regmap_write_bits() is the same as regmap_update_bits(), it would
not affect existed users. Or should I use a property to separate
regmap_write_bits() and regmap_update_bits() ?

This TI driver was intend to be a generic reset controller
(https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/cover/683585/), so this patch may
not just work on a specific SoC.

I will add a property to make this change be optional, thanks for you
advice.
