Huh?! Where did you get it from? the mentioned promotion may only happen for
a signed char which may not hold 0x00f0 in the first place. The above is some
nonsense.

On top of that regmap should limit the value to 16-bit anyway. If there is a
problem in regmap to cut the upper bits, it should be addressed rather there.
