Use regmap for the register I/O, this will save a lot of code and will
also give access to things like the register cache code.

Use devm_kzalloc(), it saves all the unwinding code.

You should verify this as part of the probe() routine - read it back to
make sure it's what's expected, and log the chip revision too in case it
is useful for diagnostics.
