We could extend regmap too, although that may be too much yak shaving.
It would be nice, but I won't push hard for it.

Before you spend time converting drivers, I'd like to complete the
discussion regarding the design of those helpers. I'd rather avoid
mass-patching drivers now and doing it again in the next kernel release.

Sakari mentioned CCI (part of the CSI-2 specification). I think that
would be a good name to replace ov* here, as none of this is specific to
OmniVision.

Correct. Can we use something like that to merge all the ov*_write_reg()
variants into a single function ? Having to select the size manually in
each call (either by picking the function variant, or by passing a size
as a function parameter) is error-prone. Encoding the size in the
register macro is much safer, easing both development and review.
