I'm wondering if there is a less intrusive way to do this. When you
create a regmap, you can optionally pass it methods to use for
read/write/update etc.

struct regmap_config {
...
	int (*reg_read)(void *context, unsigned int reg, unsigned int *val);
	int (*reg_write)(void *context, unsigned int reg, unsigned int val);
	int (*reg_update_bits)(void *context, unsigned int reg,
			       unsigned int mask, unsigned int val);

Could you provide your own methods for the ksz8463 which perform the
register modification, and then call the normal regmap SPI function to
do the operation?

If you cannot get direct access to the regmap SPI functions, you can
stack one regmap on top of another regmap. Have the top regmap do the
register modifications, and then call a normal SPI regmap to do the
read/write.

What i don't like about the current code is that developers adding new
code could miss they need to add reg8().. to all regmap calls. So
ideally you want to hide that away so they don't need to care, it just
works.
