It doesn't make sense (to me at least) to add this patch and then also
add the revert of it to v6.6 stable tree, as it becomes a no-op. The
only reason I can think of is it somehow helps with your automated
tooling?

Additionally the hardware (Pixel 6 & gs101 SoC ) which these patches
and APIs were added for wasn't merged until v6.8. The revert is also
only applicable if the kernel has the corresponding enhancements made
to syscon driver to register custom regmaps. See 769cb63166d9 ("mfd:
syscon: Add of_syscon_register_regmap() API")

Thanks,

Peter
