This patch series splits regmap_config.use_single_rw into use_single_read and use_single_write.
Motivation: When multiple sequential registers need to be read or written, the author can either choose to call regmap_bulk_read/write() once or call regmap_read/write() repeatedly. The _bulk option has the advantages of being more compact since only one function call is needed and more efficient since multiple registers are read/written at once instead of having to pay for transaction and addressing overhead of the underlying transport multiple times. Many chips don't support bulk access, but it's still convenient to be able to read/write multiple registers with a single function call. This is what use_single_rw=true is for. When this option is set, bulk reads/writes are automatically split into a series of single register accesses. Some other chips (for example the Bosch bmi160 IMU) support bulk reads, but not bulk writes. Currently for chips like this, the author must choose between convenience or efficiency by setting use_single_rw = true/false respectively. Proposal: In this patch series I split the use_single_rw member of struct regmap_config into use_single_read and use_single_write. This change is in line with what is already implemented inside of the internal struct regmap which is populated from struct regmap_config. I submitted separate patches for the change that performs the split and the update to all of the existing clients. I wasn't sure if this is the preferred method or if it's better to combine those patches.
