This patch just adds check before accessing the register range.

Your changelog doesn't correspond to what the code is actually doing
here... what you're actually doing here is replacing an open coding of
regmap_writeable() with calls to the function.
The same papering over the cracks concerns do apply here as well, it's
not immediately obvious that this is a good fix for the issue you
describe.
Only reason for me to send this patch was that fact that
_regmap_raw_write() also suffers from same issue as _regmap_raw_read(),
which is "access beyond max_register".
Should I drop this patch?
Or
Adding similar check of max_register before the writing makes sense?
