It seems the driver disrupted so much that it requires much more work
to make it neat. New code looks like a custom MFD approach (WRT resource
management).

I have sent only patch 3 out of this series and have attached here the

with Suggested-by tag. But converting to MFD will make this driver much
much better to read, understand and maintain.
