With below it becomes two. Maybe you can point out somewhere in the code
(in a form of a comment?) that regmap[0] separate access is allowed only
in probe stage?

Also be aware, that other callbacks shouldn't be called at that time (means
no port should be made visible / registered to the users).

Yes.
