No, I think MFD + scan handler inside the MFD driver is the way to go. We don't want to trash ACPI core with stuff that does not belong there IMHO. Also you don't need to modify acpi_default_enumeration() because you can mark your device enumerated in the MFD driver. So all the dirty details will be in the MFD driver and not in ACPI core.
