MFD drivers purpose is to set up shared resources, then register child device drivers which live in other subsystems. Since this device appears to be networking related, perhaps it might find a suitable home in drivers/net. Failing that, you need to split out each of the functions into their own subsystems; drivers/input, drivers/hwmon, drivers/reset, etc and supply an MFD driver to register them all. -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
