When an MFD cell has an of_compatible (meaning it is present in the Device Tree), other nodes can reference it using a phandle. However when the MFD cell is not declared in the Device Tree, the only way other nodes can reference it are by using a phandle to the MFD. Then when this MFD cell tries to register itself in one framework, the registration is denied by the framework because it is not matching the of_node of the node which is referenced by the phandle in one of the other nodes. This reattaches the of_node of the MFD to the MFD cell device structure when the MFD cell has no of_compatible.
