I don't want to absolutely use MFD.
I just want to put my driver somewhere and I don't know the right location
between MFD and Misc.

Basically, the driver needs to do (little simplified and error path removed):

  static const struct mfd_cell pef2256_devs[] = {
  	{ .name = "lantiq-pef2256-pinctrl", },
  };

  static int pef2256_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
  {
	struct pef2256 *pef2256;
	void __iomem *iomem;
	int ret;
	int irq;

	pef2256 = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*pef2256), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!pef2256)
		return -ENOMEM;

	pef2256->dev = &pdev->dev;

	iomem = devm_platform_ioremap_resource(pdev, 0);

	pef2256->regmap = devm_regmap_init_mmio(&pdev->dev, iomem,
						&pef2256_regmap_config);

	pef2256->mclk = devm_clk_get_enabled(&pdev->dev, "mclk");
	pef2256->sclkr = devm_clk_get_enabled(&pdev->dev, "sclkr");
	pef2256->sclkx = devm_clk_get_enabled(&pdev->dev, "sclkx");

	pef2256->reset_gpio = devm_gpiod_get_optional(&pdev->dev, "reset", GPIOD_OUT_LOW);
	if (pef2256->reset_gpio) {
		gpiod_set_value_cansleep(pef2256->reset_gpio, 1);
		udelay(10);
		gpiod_set_value_cansleep(pef2256->reset_gpio, 0);
		udelay(10);
	}

	pef2556_of_parse(pef2256, np);

	irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0);
	ret = devm_request_irq(pef2256->dev, irq, pef2256_irq_handler, 0, "pef2256", pef2256);

	platform_set_drvdata(pdev, pef2256);

	mfd_add_devices(pef2256->dev, PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE, pef2256_devs,
	      		ARRAY_SIZE(pef2256_devs), NULL, 0, NULL);

	pef2256_setup(pef2256);

	devm_of_platform_populate(pef2256->dev);
	
	return 0;
  }
