This is creating device tree bindings for MFD components as devices when
those MFD components aren't well isolated from the rest of the device.
If we need to add extcon bindings the device should have the flexibility
to decide where to add the properties, and really things should be set
up so there's less duplication in the documentation.

The above doesn't entirely reflect what the hardware is capable of doing
- it reflects the default software configuration for the device but it's
got a wider feature set.
