development query for LimeSDR register access within gnuradio

[aardric]

Hail,

    I would like to poke around limeSDR (board and chip) registers from 
within a running gnuradio environment. I see that a function 
LMS_WriteLMSReg has been added to gr-limesdr although no equivalent for 
reading. As an exploration of gnuradio internals with the objective of 
one day developing OOT modules, I am planning to add a read facility to 
my local gr-limesdr repository. Although an assumption of success may be 
delusional on my part, what next? Is this something I should eventually 
try to implement (or request) in gr-limesdr? Is it useful to have a 
message port in gr-limesdr for general register reading and writing? 
Should I be making this query elsewhere? Obviously, I am new to this 
process and the gnuradio ecosystem although I am now quite familiar with 
current gnuradio and LMS7002 documentation.
