We have tested this patch, on Exynos board and found working well.
In our use case DT based drivers such as USB Phy, SATA Phy, Watchdog are
calling
syscon_regmap_lookup_by APIs to get regmap handle to Exynos PMU and it
worked
well for these drivers.
It would be great if after testing you share result here or give a
Tested-By.
Thanks,
