The SBEFIFO hardware can now be attached over a new I2C endpoint
interface called the I2C Responder (I2CR). In order to use the
existing SBEFIFO driver, add regmap drivers for both FSI busses
and the I2CR. Then, refactor the SBEFIFO and OCC drivers to clean
up and use the new regmap drivers.

Is there any great reason to provide support in the regmap core for this
rather than just implementing in drivers/fsi? AFAICT this is just
ending up as an implementation detail of shared code in drivers/fsi and
won't have any external users?

One reason is to have a common interface with the new FSI regmap. That
way abstracting out the bus transfer is trivial in the new SBEFIFO
driver, assuming the SBEFIFO driver should switch to use the FSI regmap.
But you are correct, I doubt anyone else will use this. I suppose
SBEFIFO may as well not use the regmap and just use some callbacks for
whichever bus transfer...
Thanks,
Eddie

I'm not saying don't use regmap, I'm saying why not just do this in the
driver - you can just as easily set the reg_read() and reg_write()
callbacks in an individual driver without needing to create a new regmap
bus type for just that one driver to use.

I understand. That sounds like a good approach then, I'll work on that
for v2.
Thanks,
