That's possibly not the ideal decision for the underlying API, if
nothing else it's confusing naming given what a read function would
normally do.

No, it doesn't - it increments the address of reg by the size of a
register value each time.  Using use_single_rw might make sense, or if
you can't do bulk I/O at all then hooking in via reg_read() and
reg_write() in the config rather than trying to parse out the buffers
might be even better (you can still make helpers to set that up).
