Sure. But if you think it has to be done, I suggest it's done taking
next things into the account:
  1. It shouldn't make code harder to read
  2. Preferably stick to canonical ways of doing things
  3. IMHO patches like this *must* be tested thoroughly on different
boards with different test-cases, to make sure there are no
regressions. Because the benefits of cleanups are not that great, as I
see it, but we are risking to break some hardware/software combination
unintentionally while doing those cleanups. It's a good idea to
describe how it was tested in commit message or PATCH #0. Just my
$.02.

For (1) and (2): I noticed a lot of drivers are carrying additional
helper functions for read/write operations, to keep things tidy and
functional at the same time. Another mechanism that comes into mind is
regmap, though I'm not sure if it's needed for such low-level entities
as bus drivers. Also I think Andi has a point about FIELD_PREP and how
that can be handled.
