The MFD driver will be abandoned as only GPIO part is used. I'll send a 
V2 soon.

"st-mfx" compatible will disappear in V2 (we keep only GPIO driver). MFX 
version can be read in MFX FW_VERSION register. So do I keep 
"st,mfx-gpio" compatible or you want to see mfx version ?

I will keep it in mind.

Custom flags because MFX GPIOs have several types:
- Output open drain with internal pull-up resistor
- Output open drain without internal pull-up resistor
- Output push pull without internal pull resistor
- Input with internal pull-up resistor
- Input with internal pull-down resistor
- Input floating
- Input analog.
Standard flags don't have pull up or down information. That's why I am 
using custom flags, they overloads standard flags.
I will add DT bindings header in this patch V2.

OK. Will change it in V2.
