Huh?  How is that different from generic_file_write_iter()?  And who's
using it, anyway?

This is completely bogus.  "If current position is greater than the
length of string we are asking to write, quietly return 0"?

Where does 67 come from?  If you are expecting a hexadecimal representation
of a unsigned long on arm64, you should have at most 16 digits.  67 looks
rather odd...

... and you are promptly discarding the upper 32 bits, since writel_relaxed()
takes u32:
	((void)__raw_writel((__force u32)cpu_to_le32(v),(c)))
is going to truncate to 32bit, no matter what.  Quietly truncate, at that...

Again, huh?  What would use the page cache there, anyway?

Seriously?  Where would symlinks, device nodes, FIFOs and sockets come from?
And you are open-coding the regular file case in the new_dentry_create() anyway,
so the only thing this is actually used for is the root directory.

... and simple_dir_inode_operations is wrong, because...?

where's the matching removal from the list?

Why bother doing that in the kernel?

Er... Why not do that in regfs_fill_super()?

Al, not going any further for now...
