Given the relationship between priv->dev and op I think this wouldn't be
a problem in practice, but there's two devm_ioremap_resource() done on
op->dev in this function. So you're depending on op->dev to stick
around, but with this patch you're no longer expressing that dependency.

That said, it looks iffy to do devm_ioremap_resource() on op->dev and
then create a regmap on priv->dev using that resource. So I think it
would be better to do platform_get_source() on op, and then
devm_ioremap_resource() on priv->dev, in which case the regmap backing
memory will be related to the same struct device as the regmap and it
makes perfect sense to put_device() the op->dev when you're done
inspecting it's resources.
