Why do we need another regmap_config?

Can't we just remove the const and make use of the one above?

I suspect we don't need to have this line twice.

Either re-jig the if () above (I suspect this explains the existing
complexity [multiple conditions]) or pre-set regmap_config to
regmap_config_8r_8v and only over-write it if the conditions are met.
