I know this is hard to review, and so I would like to apologize in advance, but
the regulator and GPIO changes depend on the new driver core, as do the i2c/spi
components. I really don't know how to split this up without leaving some part
in a non-working state in-between patches (which I've heard is also not OK).

So split that interface change between the MFD and the function drivers
out into a separate change - you've got way more than just an interface
change in here (and you've not enumerated the various things that are
being changed in the changelog).


I'm not really "changing" anything, this is a ground-up re-write. This
fundamentally changes the way the MFD core and the function drivers interact,
I would consider this a whole new driver that just happens to replace an older
driver, not a bunch of incremental changes although I kept the same filenames.
