Thanks a lot for doing this. The code LGTM, the only thing that stands
out is the use of spin_locks(). I couldn't quickly parse out what bus
this device hangs off, if it's MMIO and registers can be read without
sleeping you could potentially get rid of the delayed work to read
stats, but I think you need to switch to
regmap_read_poll_timeout_atomic() because regmap_read_poll_timeout()
itself can sleep.

If the register access sleeps (I2C, SPI, MDIO etc) you need to switch
from a spin lock to a mutex.

Either way CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is your friend.
