There appears to be only one device here?

AC'97 is an industry standard bus used by a range of devices in
different subsystems. You can already have custom operations for a
device just in a regular regmap using the reg_read() and reg_write()
operations which are there so devices that individual device support
doesn't need to be added to the regmap core.

You really also need to write a much clearer changelog, I would be hard
pressed to tell from the changelog that this was moving things to the
regmap core rather than shuffling regmaps within the device.
