I'm aware of the previous offences.

They each slipped-in before I could catch them.  Ideally I'd like to
reverse the act.  However, finding time for such low-priority
activities has proved challenging.

I only noticed *this* occurrence due to the MFD header file.

I'm also aware of the convenience value of {ab}using the MFD API.

There is a strong argument for all SoCs to be classed as (massive)
MFDs.  However seeing as they represent more of a whole platform,
rather than an add-on chip, we have had the sense to represent them
differently.  Some such submissions I have made explicit requests to be
moved form drivers/mfd *into* drivers/platform in the past.

Most SoCs are solely represented in DT, omitting the requirement for
subsequent device registration.  Have you considered this?  If so, why
does this not suit your use-case?

The long and the short of it is; if you wish to treat this device, or
at least a section of it, as a type of MFD, then please draft that
part of it as an MFD driver, residing in drivers/mfd.  If it's "not
really an MFD", then find another way to represent the conglomeration
please.

If the MFD route is the best, then you can register each of the
devices, including the *-core from drivers/mfd.  Grep for "cross-ec"
as a relatively recently good example.
