Marcelo, crop to just the bit you reply to.  Reduces chance that
key part is missed when someone is scrolling through.

Given it's used today and is better than a mix of regmap and non-regmap
(as no need to go SPI specific yet) I'd keep it for now.  If it ends up
completely unused, then fair enough to rip it out again.  It's not
a lot of code.
