No, this would be broken.  We're specifically using the device we got
passed in.  In this case the fact that the regmap is on the MFD means
that the driver does need to explicitly set the regmap.  Or we should
have this be a multi-stage series of checks:

	if (config->regmap)
		rdev->regmap = config->regmap;
	else if (dev_get_regmap(dev, NULL))
		rdev->regmap = dev_get_regmap(dev, NULL);
	else if (dev->parent)
		rdev->regmap = dev_get_regmap(dev->parent, NULL);

which should cover the MFD case if there's no regmap on the child
without having to go through all the drivers doing it by hand.
