According to the binding change I suggested, this would not take a 'cell_name'
argument, but instead a an arg_count.

and I think this could be combined with it, like

struct regmap *syscon_regmap_lookup_by_name(struct device_node *np,
                                       const char *name, int
arg_count, __u32 *out_args)
