As Sashiko notes this doesn't quite correspond to the code which deasserts
then sleeps.  The comments in the code make it obvious that was intended
so this commit description probably just needs an update.

I guess you probably already saw and fixed this.

Otherwise, just one question inline.

What does this have to do with preventing debugfs from doing anything.
It should allow reading of volatile registers. Why is it not enough to
make the non base aligned registers neither readable nor writeable?

This is what sashiko was moaning about.
