raw_write supported for the volatile register only.
I require an api which can work for volatile as well as non-volatile
registers.
Either extend raw_write to support both cases (remove warning and handle
properly) or add bulk_write.

I think as bulk_read is there and so having bulk_write on same line
should be OK.
