I gone through most of MFD devices in mainline kernel where "of_find_node_by_name" function is used in order to populate child node properties. See below example of max8925 MFD device. Max8025 MFD device has following modules 1. Touch screen 2. Charger 3. Backlight 4. regulator In DT case, device node for max8925 MFD device is in "arch/arm/boot/dts/mmp2-brownstone.dts" file having child nodes as regulator, backlight and charger. Respective drivers (regulator, backlight and charger) of max8925 MFD device used "of_find_node_by_name" function in order to populate child node properties. Here, also same case for TPS6507x MFD device TPS6507x MFD device has two childs: 1. regulator 2. touch screen. Regulator driver for TPS6507x is already in mainline and using function "of_find_node_by_name" to populate device tree properties for regulators. On similar lines I used "of_find_node_by_name" to populate device tree properties for touch screen. Still, I agreed that it is possible to attach OF data to child platform device but it requires changes in MFD driver of TPS6507x. Please let me know your opinion about this.
