Right, so my pushback here is that it's not clear to me that avoiding
adding compatibles to the MFD is a strong enough goal to justify
creating ABI - it's hard to see the upsides.  This is particularly the
case here where the subdevice is really a random collection of devices
that's particularly likely to change between variants and more likely
that other OSs would want something different so it's even harder to
achieve reuse.
