Child devices need to get a regmap from a resource struct, specifically
from the MFD parent. The MFD parent has the interface to the hardware
layer, which could be I2C, SPI, PCIe, etc.

This is somewhat a hack... ideally child devices would interface with the
struct device* directly, by way of a function like
devm_get_regmap_from_resource which would be akin to
devm_get_and_ioremap_resource. A less ideal option would be to interface
directly with MFD to get a regmap from the parent.

This solution is even less ideal than both of the two suggestions, so is
intentionally left in a separate commit after the initial MFD addition.

This is almost certainly not the right way to do whatever it is you're
trying to do!

Please don't try to upstream "somewhat a hack"s into the Mainline
kernel.
