According to the commit introducing such lock, 
013572a236ef53cbd1e315e0acf2ee632cc816d4
the ksz driver family one regmap per register width (8/16/32), accessing 
the same set of registers.

The locking implemented with the code removed here allows serializing 
operations using different register widths.

Thanks,
