Subject and commit msg: there is no such hardware as "MFD subsys". Is
this a PMIC? Does not look like. You must describe here hardware, not
Linux subsystem.

Please mention the dependency here.

What is "subsys"? Why is it in MFD directory? SoC components like
system-controllers do not go to MFD.

Your patchset is not bisectable. What's more, you have dependency
between patches, so bindings cannot go via separate trees: mfd and rtc.
You need to make this *EXPLICIT* in the cover letter or patch changelog.

I do not see any resources in MFD block, so why having it as separate
node? What other devices you did not describe here? You mentioned
restart and 8051, so where are they? Which driver implements them?


Best regards,
