Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 0/7] net: dsa: lantiq_gswip: use regmap for
 register access

This series refactors the lantiq_gswip driver to utilize the regmap API
for register access, replacing the previous approach of open-coding
register operations.

Using regmap paves the way for supporting different busses to access the
switch registers, for example it makes it easier to use an MDIO-based
method required to access the registers of the MaxLinear GSW1xx series
of dedicated switch ICs.

Apart from that, the use of regmap improves readability and
maintainability of the driver by standardizing register access.

When ever possible changes were made using Coccinelle semantic patches,
sometimes adjusting white space and adding line breaks when needed.
The remaining changes which were not done using semantic patches are
small and should be easy to review and verify.

The series was previously posted as RFC[1], changes since the RFC/v1
version are documented in each changed patch.

Apart from the now fixed subject line there have been no changes between
v2 and v3.

Changes since v2:
 * correctly target net-next tree (fix typo in subject)

Changes since RFC:
 * drop error handling, it wasn't there before and it would anyway be
   removed again by a follow-up change
 * optimize more of the regmap_write_bits() calls
