Why can't the single 'struct regmap' be passed as the auxiliary device's
platform_data? The lock could be put into the regmap locking routines
and the write/update_bits would be standard regmap API calls. Doing that
would make the auxiliary device driver simpler because it wouldn't
depend on this struct.

The device name could encode the SoC number as well so the auxiliary
device driver could match different names and do different things.
