It should still work, but I have to admit that at this point it gets ugly.
How about defining the properties just like the driver expects them:
reg <size> <len>: the area spanning all registers (2 or three)
reg-spacing <number>: offset of the start of each register (default 1)
reg-size <number>: length of each register (1, 2, or 4, default 1)
reg-shift <number>: bit-position of the data inside the register
(default 0).
