In most cases, val = map->work_buf + map->format.reg_bytes.
How about a bit optimization?

	if (ret == -ENOTSUPP) {
		len = map->format.reg_bytes + val_len;
		if (val == map->work_buf + map->format.reg_bytes)
			ret = map->bus->write(map->dev, map->work_buf, len);
		else {
			buf = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
			if (!buf)
				return -ENOMEM;

			memcpy(buf, map->work_buf, map->format.reg_bytes);
			memcpy(buf + map->format.reg_bytes, val, val_len);
			ret = map->bus->write(map->dev, buf, len);

			kfree(buf);
		}
	}
