You should be able to use reg_read() and reg_write() but you're right it
would be a bit hoop jumping.  Really the code looks like a new generic
bus type for ioread()/iowrite() users though - I guess there will be
other similar devices connected in the same way and they probably don't
have radically different ideas about registers.
