There is no i2c_driver instance who would create the regmap. If I'm
reading the I2C code correctly, it won't probe any i2c device of a
bus if there is no i2c_driver with an associated .probe() or
.probe_new(). And even if it is probed, its subnodes won't be
enumerated; the "simple-mfd" code only works for MMIO busses, right?
Or I'm getting something really wrong here..
