And I'm really looking forward to having this in the kernel :-)

Thanks for working on this

This should also be done in the error case. Currently when you goto err_regmap 
the overridden value will be left in the struct.

While on this, is there a concurrency issue here, aka of_syscon_register could 
be called in parallel and what happens with 
syscon_regmap_config.val_format_endian then?
