drv_store is a per csdev instance value accessing per device data - so
cannot be part of the single registerregval_desc descriptor in the
feature desc.

The cscfg_csdev_mutex protects the csdev loaded config instance lists,
in order to prevent another config / feature being added while the
csdev is being enabled / disabled and enabling or disabling a config.
It will not be possible to remove a config at the same time as we are
adding one, as the dyn loading will preclude adding and removing at
the same time using the cscfg_mutex, which protects the descriptor
lists in the cscfg_manager.

Adding configs will be permitted while other configs are active,
removing them will only ever occur when nothing is active (otherwise
there is a world of dependency related pain).
