I checked linux-5.16, and don't think what I said is not against the
latest code.
The devm_regmap_init_mmio() is defined as devm_regmap_init_mmio_clk()
in `include/linux/regmap.h`.
And in the same file, the devm_regmap_init_mmio_clk() is defined as
__devm_regmap_init_mmio_clk().
Then, __devm_regmap_init_mmio_clk() -> regmap_mmio_gen_context() ->
kzalloc().
So I have no idea what's wrong.
Maybe I didn't write the commit message clear.
Please give me more detail.

Sincerely thanks,
Jiang
