There is multiple regmap of parent and hence getting correct regmap is 
really issue.  May be RTC require regmap[0] and gpio require regmap[1].

Here we are hardcoding for PALMAS_ID_OTG_IRQ and so on. If we take data 
from platform then it need not and it will be completely independent of 
palma atleast on this front.
We need to populate just as:
palmas: palmas {
:::::::
     palams_usb_phy {
         compatile = ...
         interrupt-parent = <& palmas>;
         interrupt = < 10, 0,
                                 21, 0,
                             22, 0,
                             23, 0>;
}


and in code, we just need to do
irq1 = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0);
irq2 = platform_get_irq(pdev, 1);
etc..


So here, actually we do not need to use palmas one and it is completely 
independent.

Also the way you define the DT od palmas, the above one looks more 
appropriate.
