The regmap config in stm32-lptimer is not defined with the fast_io flag
(on purpose or not?) that means we can potentially deadlock here as the
lock is a mutex.

Isn't it detected with the lock validation scheme?

Won't be the mfd into an inconsistent state here? The other subsystems
will be removed but this one will prevent to unload the module leading
to a situation where the mfd is partially removed but still there
without a possible recovery, no?
