Oh does this have register pages? regmap has support for pages where you
write some indirection register and then access the same i2c address for
the next page. This looks different though and has a different i2c
address for each page?

That could be done with max address in the config though, right?
volatile ranges is to indicate which registers are volatile and can't be
cached. I sort of doubt the entire rage is volatile.
