[PATCH v1 0/3] regmap: Drop never (properly) worked 64-bit support

[Andy Shevchenko]

regmap API internally operates on unsigned int values for the register
offsets and data. The commit back in 2015 that introduces 64-bit
excerpts in the code made a false impression that it works. Not really.

Consider two things:
 1/ register offset
 2/ data

For the first one is very rarely we need (except probably an MMIO case)
it. Even though, it won't work due to 32-bit limitations of the base offset.
Considering, let's say, 4 bytes stride the current implementation may
cover 36-bit of address space _only_. And 37-bit for the 8 bytes stride.

For the second one it's obviously that we want _all_ bits to be covered
in the data (otherwise what's the point?) and unsigned int gives us
only 32-bits.

With all this, revert all 64-bit excerpts from regmap API to avoid
false impressions and new code that never works.

Note, there are no users with such sizes in the kernel.

Andy Shevchenko (3):
  regmap: Revert "add 64-bit mode support" and Co.
  regmap: cache: Revert "Add 64-bit mode support"
  regmap: mmio: Remove unused 64-bit support code
