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.

I'm still hoping that Michal will do that patch.

And what was the resolution/recommendation how to do it?

Split the regmap creation so the managed resource registration could be
done later on with an already allocated regmap instead of requiring it
to be done at creation time.
