Here's all of my third attempt at MFD cell sharing. This includes all parts; some of the patches from v2 are being resent without changes. I apologize for the noise, but since I screwed up the threading in the first batch and people were having trouble finding some of the patches, I figured I'd resend everything together. There are some changes in there as well; they've been marked in commit messages.
This whole set does the following things: - make mfd_cell structs always accessible to platform devices - adjust the mfd_cell API to (hopefully) be cleaner, replacing platform_data and driver_data with mfd_data - add wrapper functions to access mfd cell and data fields - adjust all mfd clients/drivers to use the new API - add a reference counting wrapper for mfd_cell's enable/disable hooks - add platform device sharing wrappers to allow mfd clients to create new platform devices (at the same time as platform drivers are being registered) - update the cs5535-mfd driver (and clients) to make use of the new sharing code
This effectively provides the ability for mfd clients to share a single mfd_cell, and provide the framework for mfd-core be handle shared hardware resources.
