It turns out I'm missing the zeroing of pcs_regmap_cfg, which can trigger
errors at probe time. I know this series has been applied, and that I can
send a followup fix, but due to the missing regmap patch in the net-next
tree, this series will break altera_tse and dwmac_socfpga anyway,as
mentionned here (and in the cover):

Is reverting the way to go then ?

Best regards,
