Hi Paul,

This looks like a very nice and clean driver, good work!

Very broadly speaking, I wonder whether we could use the regmap
infrastructure for these things in the future, but I would first
need to understand whether that is actually in the scope of regmap.

It seems that you just need a subset of what regmap provides,
so it could work, but it might not actually be better than what
you have now.

Mark, can you comment on that?

I think the exports here should be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. There is no reason
why an out of tree driver would ever use these.

Why do you list the subdevices in of_anatop_subdevice_match()? I think you
should just use 

	of_platform_bus_probe(np, of_anatop_match, dev);

here, using the same match table that you have in the platform_driver.
That will automatically create platform devices for any children of this
device, so you don't have to update the list above when you get new
child drivers.
