We need to acquire the fw in the HEADER for obvious reasons. So the
question is whether we want to do it in the one step or two and add a
corresponding put to the FOOTER. Is the complexity of having a combined
function *and* the individual get/put worth saving a for_each_fw_domain()
loop per register access?

Yes, imo.
