Subject: [PATCH] regmap: debugfs: Fix a boot time crash with early regmap init

If called early enough, regmap_debugfs_init causes a crash, if the
fs subsystem does not have its mount cache created yet. Even if this
would work, the root node for the regmap debugfs is still missing,
thus postpone the regmap_debugfs_init in this case until the root
node is created. A special regmap_debugfs_early list is created for
this purpose which is parsed later in the boot.
