[PATCH] regmap: Annotate that MMIO implies fast IO

From: Wolfram Sang
Date: Fri Jul 25 2025 - 07:04:10 EST


Document that using the MMIO helpers will automatically enable the
'fast_io' parameter. This makes the used locking scheme more transparent
and avoids superfluous setting of this parameter in drivers.

If this is approved, then I'd send out a series removing the unneeded
'fast_io' setting from drivers in the tree.
