So _regmap_write() does: map->lock(map->lock_arg)

Which isn't very enlightening, since that can be a mutex or a spinlock,
the above strongly suggests spinlock though.

Looking at __regmap_init(), this seems to depend on:

  (bus && bus->fast_io) || config->fast_io

now, afaict, regmap_mmio is used in this case, which has .fast_io =
true.

So yeah, fail.
