All devices supported by simple MFD use the same 8-bit register
8-bit value regmap configuration. There is an option available
for a device to specify a custom configuration, but no existing
device uses it.
Rather than specify a "full" regmap configuration to use this
option, Lee Jones suggested allowing just the max_register value
to be specified in the simple_mfd_data structure.

Why do we need another regmap_config?
Can't we just remove the const and make use of the one above?

I suspect we don't need to have this line twice.
Either re-jig the if () above (I suspect this explains the existing
complexity [multiple conditions]) or pre-set regmap_config to
regmap_config_8r_8v and only over-write it if the conditions are met.

If we change the global one, it changes for all users.
In my next version I will modify the global one temporarily and
zero the max_register field again after the devm_regmap_init_i2c()
call. That doesn't protect against concurrent probes but I don't
think that's a problem.

Sure, that would work, but it won't be needed if I just use
the (non-const) global config.
Thanks for the review.

Not sure why this whole thing had to be reworked.
Why didn't the 2-liner I gave you work for you?
