Data writes for the ssd130x 4-wire SPI protocol need special handling, due
the Data/Command control (D/C) pin having to be toggled prior to the write.
The regmap API only allowed drivers to provide .reg_{read,write} callbacks
to do per register read/write, but didn't provide a way for drivers to do
the same for bulk read/writes.
For this reason, a custom regmap bus was used by the driver just to define
a bulk write callback that implements the D/C pin toggling. But the regmap
API has been extended to support defining bulk read/write handlers, so the
custom regmap bus is not needed anymore and could just be dropped.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
