Re: [PATCH v10 1/3] mfd: Add Renesas R-Car Gen3 RPC-IF MFD controller driver

[Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The patch name is somewhat misleading -- there's no "MFD controller".

   Don't need this line any more...

   ... and this too.

   This definitely should look simpler, like below:

	if (of_device_is_compatible(flash, "jedec,spi-nor")) {
 		cell = &rpc_spi_ctlr;
	} else if (of_device_is_compatible(flash, "cfi-flash")) {
		cell = &rpc_hf_ctlr;
 	} else {
		dev_warn(&pdev->dev, "unknown flash type\n");
		return -ENODEV;
	}

	return devm_mfd_add_devices(&pdev->dev, -1, cell, 1, NULL, 0, NULL);

   NAK. I have already told you that these #include's are only needed in the
drivers, not in this header.

   My idea is to contain all hardware manipulation in the MFD driver,
with SPI/HF drivers calling that code via a set of APIs declared in this header.
The registers (declared below) would end up only needed by that common MFD driver...
