The few examples upstream are children of the imem simple-mfd/syscon and
will thereby naturally request the regmap of the parent syscon.
For driver that doesn't fit this model (I don't find one right now), or
if you have downstream drivers that are designed differently you could
use syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle() to acquire the imem regmap from
any device in the system.
