Having a macro for this is really odd since macros are generally only
used at compile time but the regmap is only available at runtime and
this...

...is a bit awkward since you can't use it with static data. I think
either the read/write/modify APIs should be changed to take both the map
and the field as arguments (with the field only containing the bitfield
definitions) or the init function should be something that allocates a
new, runtime only structure from static data.
