So as I see there is no reasons to use regmap for > reset driver. You should not look at these registers in isolation, they are part of some register area that has other functions as well and that you should at least represent correctly in DT. When I see something like + reg = <0x23100e4 0x10>, + <0x2620328 0x10>; I am certain that there are other things between 0x2310000 and 0x23100e3, and probably after 0x23100f4 as well. There must be some data sheet that gives this register range a proper name, so put that into DT rather than making up some arbitrary stuff that happens to match how today's kernel driver needs it.
