dev_get_regmap, in <linux/regmap.h>.

The IRQ, clocks and clocksource driver do NOT have a "struct device" to
begin with. They are not platform drivers, and cannot be platform drivers,
as they must register so early in the boot process, before "struct device"
is even a thing.

All they get is a pointer to the same devicetree node. Since all of these
have to use the same registers, they need to use a shared regmap, which
they obtain by calling ingenic_tcu_get_regmap() below.

Then, when this driver's probe gets called, the regmap is retrieved and
attached to the struct device, and then the children devices will be
probed: the watchdog device, the PWM device, the OST device. These three
will retrieve the regmap by calling dev_get_regmap(dev->parent, NULL).

That makes sense.

This explanation certainly belongs in the commit log.

Right.

Can you send your v14, as you intended. I will re-review it with new
eyes when you do.

Could you review v13 instead? v14 will be a v13 with tiny teeny
non-code fixes (delete some newlines, replace %i with %d, and
convert the documentation from .txt to .rst).

Yes, that's intended. You have a default value, that can be overriden
by a device property.

You should provide a comment here to make your intentions clear.

Ok.

This is called from the PWM driver.

Why can't it live in the PWM driver?

It totally can. I'll move it there.
