Ok, so I'll need another way to address this. Will dig more ;)

I'm using a regmap_bus with only reg_read and reg_write functions, in
this case the value of reg_base is currently not taken into account.

I suppose so, as that's where my expectation regarding reg_base also
being applied on regmap_read operations on e.g. regmap-mdio stem
from. I also expected reg_base base to affect the 'registers' file in
debugfs (ie. offset being applied there as well).
