The regmap_write I use is there to disable all interrupts on hardware
side before the irq_chip handles all interrupts by itself. The
interrupts are not used in the MFD driver.

Thus, I chose to disable the hardware interrupts in the remove function
of drivers using the interrupts (only the IIO yet but the touchscreen
driver later also which will be using a third interrupt). When the MFD
driver is removed, the MFD cells will all be removed, thus calling their
own remove functions, thus disabling hardware interrupts used in each
driver. So the hardware interrupts disabling would be called twice.
