I plan to apply this quickly as this was already discussed and agreed
on, and to avoid conflicts with future patches.

If that's ok with you I will add that this also aligns with what regmap
does when applying.

Also planning to add a `Link:` tag to
https://lore.kernel.org/2c5d90c8-e73a-4f04-9c1d-30adbd0fef07 at nvidia.com
for context.

Sounds good!

(Apologies for top posting.)

Thanks,
