I don't mind having kernel-doc for a static function, but if you do that,
validate. Here is "Return section is missing".

Needs to be

 * A value of zero on success, a negative errno in error cases.

No, supply *data and not a *lock.

static int rm3100_guarded_regmap_bulk_read(struct rm3100_data *data, unsigned int reg,
					   void *val, size_t val_count)

	guard(mutex)(&data->lock);
	return regmap_bulk_read(data->regmap, reg, val, val_count);
