Just one real comment on your code. 
Also a passing musing that you can feel free to ignore!

Unrelated to your patch, but I wonder if there is appetite for
		regmap_err(data->regmap, "failed to write system register\n");

A lot of drivers carry a local dev pointer because the regmap_get_device() stuff
is a bit clunky. They only use it in many paths for prints like this.

Why this change?
