No. Maybe I should add "select REGMAP" instead.

It works without any "might sleep/sleeping in atomic context" warnings.

Technically I'd agree with you. If I'm using regmaps, ideally I should not
depend on the exact backend and put working with it to the work queue.
However as this is a driver for quite old IP block, it is not used with
regmap backends other than MMIO, I'd deduce, it's ok to do things
in a more relaxed way and to call regmap_write even from atomic
contexts.
