Thank you for your patch, it is great to see more drivers
being converted to the CCI register access helpers.

For these 2, but also for the 2 much longer arrays with
address, value pairs which you are replacing, you are
replacing all the register addresses with CCI_REG8(0x3000).

Even though some of these are like 16 bit or even 24bit
registers, this in itself is not a problem.

But if you are replacing them 1:1 like this anyway then
IMHO it is better to just:

- Directly use struct reg_sequence instead of struct cci_reg_sequence
- Call regmap_multi_reg_write() instead of cci_multi_reg_write()

then you can keep all the initializer values for
the arrays the same (no need to add CCI_REG8() around
the addresses). This is also how this was done in other
drivers when they were converted to the CCI helpers.

This greatly reduces the size of the diff and makes it
much easier to review the patch.
