I started digging in device_node_to_regmap() to try to find an error that
could be used to trigger if the failover to dev_get_regmap() should be
tried, instead of always doing the failover on error. I got lost fairly
quickly, but it seems device_node_to_regmap() can return -EDEFER_PROBE.
While I'm not certain that it is applicable, that case should probably
not fall back to dev_get_regmap()...

Are there other error cases that should prevent the failover? I would
guess that it's perhaps just a single error that should trigger trying
the failover path? But I don't know, and which error if that's the case?

How much badness can be caused if syscon_node_to_regmap() fails for some
random obscure reason and the failover path is taken inadvertently? It
certainly smells bad for -EDEFER_PROBE, but do you have any insight in
other cases?

And after getting to approx that point a while back, I had other things
to take care of, and this fell off the table. Sorry!

Cheers,
Peter
