init is somewhat parallel so I'd be happier if we locked the list to
make sure that we don't corrupt the list.

We also need something to handle removal of items from the list if the
regmap is destroyed prior to the initcall running (for example in error
handling cases), otherwise we could end up creating debugfs files
pointing at devices that no longer exist.
