These all look good, thanks for the good updates!

It seems odd to still have these two ways of registering the sysmgr,
from either the probe function or the lookup.

Since the sysmgr should always get probed before its users, you could
try to change it like this:

- let only the probe() function register it and create the regmap, then
  set the regmap as the private data of the device.

- In lookup_by_phandle(), use driver_find_device() to look up the
  'struct device' based on its of_node(), by comparing dev->of_node
  to of_parse_phandle(np, property).

- return the private data of the device.

That will also let you remove the global variable and make it (theoretically)
work with multiple sysmgr devices, which is generally the preferred way to
write a driver.

You seem to have some dead declarations from before the cleanup that
should be removed now. Please go through the header file one more time
to see what is actually still used.
