This is an odd setup.  I haven't seen one driver registering another
driver's Regmap call-backs before, related or otherwise.  Normally the
Regmap is setup (initialised) in the parent driver and child drivers
just make use of it.  Here it looks like you are registering 2
separate Regmaps, but using the same call-backs for both, which seems
wrong to me.
