These helpers are almost exactly duplicating what regmap_update_bits() is doing.
I appreciate the effort to stop open-coding the same sequences over and over by
adding such helper functions, but I think that the proper way of doing what you
are proposing is not to add custom functions but rather reuse what the Linux APIs
give you.

What about doing a conversion to use regmap on this driver?
