Hi Sam,

Thanks for the review feedback.

In v2 I will keep the phandle to pmu_system_controller in DT, and add
some -EPROBE_DEFER logic (See my email with Krzysztof).

I did look at that possibility first, as like you say it would avoid
updating the leaf drivers to use the new API. Unfortunately a SMC
backend to regmap was already tried and nacked upstream pretty hard.
