Few things have improved recently :) This can be now implemented
in a much cleaner way using regmap against the already defined syscon
node.
For an example, see how the MMC PBIAS regulator is using regmap
in Linux next:
11469e0bb1 (regulator: add pbias regulator support)
cd042fe5c1 (ARM: dts: add pbias dt node)
That avoids the problem of the tinkering with SoC specific registers
that belong to another device.
So please update this series for regmap, let's not add more mapping
of system control module registers to the drivers.
Regards,
Tony
