[PATCH v2 0/2] regmap: add support to regmap_field_bulk_alloc/free

[PATCH v2 0/2] regmap: add support to regmap_field_bulk_alloc/free

[Srinivas Kandagatla]

Usage of regmap_field_alloc becomes much overhead when number of fields
exceed more than 3. Most of driver seems to totally covered up with these
allocs/free making to very hard to read the code! On such driver is QCOM LPASS
driver has extensively converted to use regmap_fields.

This patchset add this new api and a user of it.

Using new bulk api to allocate fields makes it much more cleaner code to read!

Changes since v1:
	- Fix lot of spelling! No code changes!

You only have a patch that uses these last two functions, so why add all
4?  We don't add infrastructure to the kernel without users.

We have managed versions of the other regmap allocation functions, it
makes sense for consistency to have managed versions of these too.  I
think there's a meaningful difference between a simple and expected
wrapper like these and infrastructure which hasn't been proved out by
users.

Please delete unneeded context from mails when replying.  Doing this
makes it much easier to find your reply in the message, helping ensure
it won't be missed by people scrolling through the irrelevant quoted

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
