Msm on the other hand declares the struct mfd_cell subdevice[] array in the board file and passes this on to the core driver via platfom data.
This way the platform data tells the core driver what kind of silicon it has "hey, PM8058, guess what, you have an RTC!" which looks backwards to me, especially given that it does not need any fancy platform data at all, just two IRQ numbers which the core driver can very well handle. For example: if the platform data (which is about how the components are connected on the board etc) does not provide the RTC resource, all of a sudden it appears to the system as if the PM8058 does not have an RTC, but it does...
