I'm not really sure about this one.

Sure, there's more resources involved than the clock to get access to
the registers (like reset), but you can't have a functional device
without the reset line deasserted.

You can however have a functional device without the bus clock enabled,
so it just seems much better to let regmap manage it.

Unless there's a drawback to it of course, but it should be in your
commit log if so.
