Well except SoundWire is a bit of a special boy, the hardware is not necessarily available in probe, the hardware is only available at some point later when the device attaches. Doing it this way all of the attaching (and various detach/attach cycles the device needs during configuration) are over by the time the child drivers bind, so they don't all need special code to handle that.
if the devices are added in the probe, then the regmap needs to be moved to cache-only and another special API would be needed to tell the MFD framework to turn the regmap cache-only off.
But if it's the same regmap, the regmap cache is handled in the SoundWire update_status callback so maybe Krzysztof's proposal does work?
