Yes, I thought about removing this clk from regmap registration too (for the exact same reason: avoiding extra enable/disable work when accessing registers), but ATM I do not prepare/enable periph_clk in the hlcdc-pwm driver, this means the regmap won't work until the hlcdc-dc driver has probed the display controller device. How about preparing/enabling the periph_clk in the MFD device, so that PWM and Display Controller subdevices won't have to bother about this clk, and the regmap will work as expected ? Or, should we just prepare/enable the periph clock in each subdevices ?
