Can't you have a control register that does an indirect read/write, but
maintain an internal pointer in the hardware? that way you could do
writel(control, address)
writel(datareg, data1)
writel(datareg, data2)
writel(datareg, data3)
etc.
Same would go for reading (since you only maintain a single pointer
anyway).
Not sure if that's feasible though.
