since we are operating in userspace the behavior shouldn't be specific to the
device.
It would be good when all drivers behave the same. But i think it would be much
better
as the nvmem framework take care of it and preinit the buffer with a defined
value.

I defined a regmap_access_table for valid read registers in my case. But i think
in your case
an implementation of the readable_reg callback in the regmap_config would be
more elegant.

You can validate your implementation under /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/

Sorry, i'm a newbie to regmap.
