We have talked about this with Mark Brown already, and I think we will
find a solution for this in the end, but it's not as straightforward
as I first hoped. We can probably use help in this area.
I thought the solution with deferring registration of the resource for
dev_get_regmap() until a proper device materialised seemed simple and
enough, did you folks run into any problems with that? I had assumed a
patch was likely to materialise so wasn't worrying about it myself.
