Those components has their own addresses on i2c bus, so they are,
technically, separate devices, and they can (should?) be described by
separate nodes. And I think it doesn't matter if they are grouped in one
chip.
However, it's easy to change it (give mfd master driver node to extcon),
and we can have extcon device defined without additional node, and then
parent node is an extcon node.
