Thanks for your feedback.
I will remove max98373->codec and change related things.

I'm sorry but I don't fully understand the benefit of this.
Keeping regmap information in private driver data is very common and I can see many ASoC drivers are using it.
I was able to see only a few driver use ' snd_soc_component_read'.
I would like to keep regmap_read/write if it is still acceptable.
