Without the codec component, one minor feature will be missing, but
the device will have no issues functioning.

The current timeline, as best as I can see it, is 3-6 months.

Understood. Is it possible that “error” is a recent adoption?
Regardless, I will go ahead and use “err” for the MFD driver.

In my judgment it alerts the user or developer of an important
error, and in other cases it gives them insight that is useful for
understanding firmware behavior. Is this kind of visibility not
typical? Regardless, I will move it out of MFD for V5.

Roger that. Mailbox functionality will move out of MFD for V5.

devid and revid are shared, but the others are not. I will move them to
their proper home in V5.
