Why are none of the build bots finding problems if this is currently
broken and why did this not get fixed in -next when it was introduced?

Like I say I provided a tag for this and didn't get any request to
pull/apply the update in the other direction so it is extremely
disappointing to see that the header move went ahead after that without
the regmap support being included and someone else is having to come
along and clean up the mess.
