Do something that looks tasteful in implementation.

Everything except for the block transfers is writing one register at a time, actually looking again everything that can only write one register at a time ought not to be implementing the buffer based stuff at all and should instead be hooked into reg_read() and reg_write() - it's not able to implement the API properly in any of the cases, it's unpacking the buffer which the upper level code already supports.
