Sorry to enter the discussion just now (Brian CCed me in an answer he
made to v4 of this series).

Honestly, I'd have the exact opposite argument: if you have a look at
newer versions of this patch, you'll see that more than 90% of the code
is duplicated, and re-using the same logic with different field
positions is quite common in other drivers. Actually the counter
argument to your suggestion are bug fixes: when you find a bug, you'll
have to remember fixing it for all implementations. Having a common
code base has IMO more pros than cons.

BTW, if you switch to regmap, you have this field-position
customization for free (see reg_field).

Boris
