Yes, it should be able to be used for this.  I've been posting a driver
for the wm831x PMICs for quite some considerable time.

I'd suggest using regmap for the cache support (which helps with
read/modify/write cycles) and because...

...we should be able to factor things like this out of the drivers using
regmap (we've been getting some great results doing that for regulator
over this release).

These should be prepare() and unprepare() - enable() and disable() are
called from atomic context so you can't do I2C I/O.

If we need empty functions like this we should fix the framework.

devm_kzalloc().
