I think 1,2,3,4 are certainly harmless. I think even 5 is harmless (at
least according to my testing on MX6Q and MX6SX, which is not the
greatest sample), but can be safely reverted if there are concerns.

I also believe the following two patches should be backported for stable
4.7 (they were part of tag 'regmap-fix-v4.8-rc5' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap):
