No need to store this here.

Just do this in the child device:

     dev_get_regmap(pdev->dev.parent, NULL);

Note that dev_get_regmap() is relatively expensive compared to a simple
driver data reference since it needs to go search for the device to find
the regmap, it's not the end of the world especially in the context of
doing I2C I/O but storing it isn't a terrible idea.
