That is correct. The simple-mfd is a two-component approach.
Ideally, in the simplest case, you combine simple-mfd with syscon.
foo@0 {
compatible = "foo", "syscon", "simple-mfd";
reg = <0x10000000 0x1000>;
bar@1 {
compatible = "bar";
};
baz@2 {
compatible = "baz";
};
};
This will instantiate bar and baz.
These subdrivers then probe and:
probe() {
struct regmap *map;
map = syscon_node_to_regmap(parent->of_node);
(...)
}
Simple, syscon is the MFD hub.
