No need to store this here.quoted
Just do this in the child device:quoted
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.
It would be nice if someone could do some metrics on this. -- Lee Jones [李琼斯] Senior Technical Lead - Developer Services Linaro.org │ Open source software for Arm SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
