Could you think about different access widths, please?
Not all buses are 32-bits wide and even on 64-bit CPUs one might have 16-bit bus
and 32 bits accesses are not allowed or perform two accesses, etc...
So to cover the use-cases which I see one needs to have a possibility to select between
__raw_writeb()/__raw_writew()/__raw_writel()/__raw_writeq() (now that I'm thinking about
it, I think these native-Endianness functions are preferred and if one has a bus with
different Endianness he should think about the conversion in the reg property of subnodes).
Very important is readback with corresponding __raw_read*(), but maybe you want to do
this optional via additional DT property...
