Timeout is provided by DT.

I am confused why you do not use standard writel or don't have any
barriers here. I think this is very error prone and in general
discouraged practice (was for example raised by Arnd multiple times on
the lists).

Drop, that's some ancient downstream code.

Drop, not needed. Fix your table module device Id instead... or start
from other recent driver as a skeleton to avoid repeating the same
issues we already fixed.
