I mean the value for the register, not the register address.

You're adding this code to regmap_raw_write() which takes raw register
values for the device, not unsigned integers.

I'm not sure what the "it" you're talking about here is, sorry.  There
are unsupported features in the API especially for cases that don't make
a huge amount of sense, the error handling isn't always complete.  It
sounds like you might be trying to support one of these nonsensical
cases - it's not obvious what raw I/O on a device where we don't know
the raw format of the device should mean or how anything could sensibly
use that.
