reg is always < 0x80, so I didn't see a point in masking it.

access_type is an enum and all possible values are covered with cases.
But I'll add a safe guart to check that read/write is set to cover garbled
platform_data. If you want to keep plat_read/plat_write I could add an
additional access_type (which could also be done later, when there is a
real use case).

IP32 accesses register directly and IP30 indirectly via an address register.
I'll use indirect in function name and some comment to explain.

what's PIO here for you ? RTC address and data register are mapped MMIO
as part of the IOC3 register bar on IP30.
