For the general case where access to the MFD needs some mediation or marshalling yes, I think this is theoretically possible. For the most common MMIO case where the MFD devide is a syscon, it is not so likely. Or rather extremelt unlikely. We could restrict the use cases to strictly syscon/MMIO MFD devices but it would just be a documentation fix.
