There should probably be a description of the purpose of the
hardware both here and in the patch description.
In particular, please explain how it relates to the existing
clockmatrix driver.

Maybe split the class support from the hardware specific parts
to let other drivers interface with the class when they provide
the same functionality through the common ioctl?

The multiplexer here already looks like this should be two drivers that
attach to the class and provide callbacks.

The user ABI needs to be documented.

A pure list of register values seems neither particular portable
nor intuitive. How is a user expected to interpret these, and are
you sure that any driver for this class would have the same
interpretation at the same register index?

Can you explain the purpose of this restriction? Why is it
ok for two threads to access the same file descriptor, but not
two different file descriptors for the same device?

There should be a .compat_ioctl entry here for 32-bit processes.
If the commands are all defined to be compatible, you can point
it to compat_ptr_ioctl

Each of these needs a device tree binding. It's usually better to
name the compatible strings according to the chips that contain
this hardware, such as "renesas,r8a1234567-rsmucdev" instead
of "renesas,rsmu-cdev0".
Since you don't seem to about the difference between the devices,
the driver can also just bind to one of them (usually the oldest)
and then the newer devices contain the string as a fallback, so
you don't have to update the driver every time another variant
gets made.

I'd suggest open-coding the string here, to make it easier to grep for.

This should probably be part of the .c file, as no other driver needs to
interface with it.

This tells me that you got the abstraction the wrong way: the common files
should not need to know anything about the specific implementations.
Instead, these should be in separate modules that call exported functions
from the common code.

Please avoid padding in uapi data structures, see
Documentation/driver-api/ioctl.rst

This does not match the code, which expects the argument to point directly
to the data, rather than an indirect pointer. By fixing the command definition,
it also becomes compatible with 32-bit processes:
#define RSMU_SET_COMBOMODE _IOW(RSMU_MAGIC, 1, struct rsmu_combomode)
Maybe expand the documentation for each command a little to explain what
the fields exactly refer to. This also ensures that you are not making it
too specific to a particular hardware implementation.
