To avoid this, it's usually best to base your patches on a recent
linux-next, which I suppose is what you did, since you picked up the
new symbol. The reason that this isn't in the MFD tree is most likely
because it's a new symbol being introduced in the next release cycle
and it's not relevant in pinctrl.
You patch series will most likely be applied via different trees. MFD
patches will go through Lee's MFD tree and pinctrl patches through
Linus' pinctrl tree. Your patches based on linux-next should then apply
cleanly and build correctly in the respective trees and everything will
come together in linux-next again.
