Subject: [PATCH] counter: microchip-tcb-capture: check the correct variable

This should be testing "regmap" instead of "priv->regmap".  The
"priv->regmap" variable is always zero so it's not an error pointer.

Fixes: 106b104137fd ("counter: Add microchip TCB capture counter")
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>
---
The commit 106b104137fd ("counter: Add microchip TCB capture counter")
doesn't use the correct patch prefix.  This is a common mistake for the
the first commit which adds the driver.  There is no kernel wide
standard for patch prefixes so it's difficult for people sending fixes
to know the correct prefix should be.
