If you notice each regmap is connected to the correct dummy. Its
possible to create the correct children per dummy. The twl6030 driver
does this. But this is pointless now as I never intend to work on it so
we shall go with the tightly coupled.

Ok that makes sense if you are actually planning to feed non palmas IRQs
to the usb via either palmas GPIO or even directly! I did not know there
was such a use case!
