On PMI632, peripherals are partitioned over 2 different SIDs
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pmi632.dtsi?h=v6.5-rc1#n42
and https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pmi632.dtsi?h=v6.5-rc1#n149).
Unfortunately, the pbs peripheral and the lpg peripherals are on different
PMI632 devices and therefore have different regmaps.
 
If we get rid of the pbs node we need to get a handle to the proper regmap.
I see two possible options, we could either introduce a new client property
which points to a peripheral on the same device as pbs.

i.e.
	led-controller {
		compatible = "qcom,pmi632-lpg";
      		#address-cells = <1>;
      		#size-cells = <0>;
      		#pwm-cells = <2>;
     		nvmem-names = "lpg_chan_sdam";
      		nvmem = <&pmi632_sdam7>;
      		qcom,pbs-phandle = <&pmi632_gpios>;
      		..... 
	};
Then when client is probing could do something like the following to get the regmap

	dn = of_parse_phandle(node, "qcom,pbs-phandle", 0);
	pdev = of_find_device_by_node(dn);
	pbs_regmap = dev_get_regmap(&pdev->dev->parent, NULL);



Or we could use the nvmem phandle and just have something like this in client's probe

	dn = of_parse_phandle(node, "nvmem", 0);
	pdev = of_find_device_by_node(dn);
	pbs_regmap = dev_get_regmap(&pdev->dev->parent, NULL);



Let me know what your thoughts are on this.

Thanks,
Anjelique
