Yes fair enough. I think I erred too far on the side of trying to send 
small chunks (and also not wanting to commit to a binding before I had 
working drivers).

So how do we move forward? There's one more patch I haven't sent yet 
that adds interrupts for the switch block. But other than that I think 
what I have now covers all of the major components in this chip.

There's only one in-tree board that uses this and I'm the maintainer of 
it so withdrawing the mfd binding and replacing it with something else 
is not out of the question. There may be some complaints from make 
dtbs_check while we get this sorted but hopefully we can get that done soon.
