As with the others, before adding a fixes tag, please verify there
is an actual path to trigger this.
In this case it's an mmio regmap with no clock. For those, I'm not sure
if there is a failure path.
Still a worthwhile hardening / cleanup patch, but shouldn't be called
a fix or marked with a fixes tag because we don't want people to think
it is necessary to backport it.
Thanks,
