Fine, it will much simple in this case.

Yes, change regmap core driver i.e. regmap.c

* @map: Register map to write to
* @reg: Initial register to write to
* @val: Block of data to be written, laid out for direct transmission
to the
* device
* @@val_count: Number of registers to write
int regmap_bulk_write(struct regmap *map, unsigned int reg, void *val,
size_t val_count)


only support if map->format.parse_val not null like bulk_read.

It will just do the regamp_raw_write() if all regs are volatile
otherwise make the unsigned int from the val by function
map->format.parse_val for separate write for each register.
