Well Mark may be opposed so it doesn't really matter to me. Just
would be nice to have some more code documentation on the expected
register width.

Can that be done through some device ID? So the driver can be untangled
from the MFD part.

Can the register definitions be moved to this clk driver?

Maybe you now get the hint, but I'd really like to be able to merge and
compile the clk driver all by itself without relying on the parent MFD
device to provide anything at compile time.

And this directionality is determined by dir_mask? It would be great if
this sort of information was in the commit text or in a comment in the
driver so we know what's going on here.

I don't really mind either way. When we get these subdevice drivers of a
larger OF node for the whole MFD it becomes sort of awkward to make devm
work.
