Its both.

Codec itself does not have any private write callback to support this
and AFAIU Qualcomm Soundwire controller does not have any such hw
facility to program multi-registers for device at one shot.

Also to note, the current state of code soundwire regmap write callback
assumes that the request to write will always have base address at the
start followed by register values. This is not true for multi-register
writes which comes in address-value-padding pairs.

Am confused on the multi_write feature and looking at regmap bus level
write callback.

Is write callback used for both Bulk writes and multi-writes?

Is multi-write feature of regmap bus or device?
