Hi Mark,

I'm not talking about a case where regmap_attach_dev() is called when
there is already a device attached; as far as I can tell such a thing
does not happen in current kernel code.

Please have a look at the commit in the Fixes: tag. The duplicate
regmap_debugfs_init() happens even when no device was passed in
__regmap_init(), so the regmap_attach_dev() is the first time a device
it attached.
