I am totally happy for this patch to be merged but would it not
be prefferable to do the regmap init in the device probe and
still use the devm_ call?  Doing the regmap setup in the ASoC
probe is a little unusual and I don't really see any reason why
it is necessary here. Unless I am missing something?

Thanks,
Charles
