Why do we have to allocate all regmap fields separately instead of
embedding them into keypad structure?

No particular reason. Will rework it.

Oops. struct regmap_field is opaque. It seems that the allocation
is the only way that I could have instance of it.


Maybe we can add an API to allocate an array of fields?
