Header files should not have static variables in general, it will cause warnings
about unused variables when you include the header from another file
(depending on compiler version and warning options, I think older gcc
versions don't warn about this, but clang and latest gcc do).

How about adding the new code into the existing
drivers/mfd/hi6421-pmic-core.c file, and splitting out the part that differs
(the regmap_update_bits is the only difference I see) into a callback
that you reference through the of_device_id->data pointer?
