regmap seems a too limited interface to use when trying to generalize
this.
We should rather go for a ili-lib or something that can be used in all
the present and future ili based drivers.
Obviously it depends on how similar the ili based chips are.

I did a quick look and this driver did not match the ili9325 datasheet
as different bits was are in register 0x1.
So it smeels like another, similar. ili varaint.

So for this driver we would just use the hardcoded varaint already
present. Then we may re-visit ili-lib idea later if we see too much
similar code.
This is as I see it for now...
