Because when I submitted this driver to MFD Lee Jones told me that it
didn't belong to that subsystem and should be added to the kernel in
"drivers/platform".

Could you elaborate more on "instead of rolling your own
mfd-implementation"? It was my understanding that using "simple-mfd"
binding and of_platform_default_populate() was the simplest way to
create a DT-only MFD and that's how the driver was implemented when I
submitted it for inclusion to MFD as well. Am I re-inventing something
and is there a simpler way?

Sure, I can change that.

My bad, for some reason I thought I was using something from
mfd-core.c, but I don't. Will remove in v8.

Those compatible strings are also re-used by cell drivers for this
device (not a part of this series) to determine which ICD is
applicable, hence the defines instead of normal strings.

Oops, missed this one, thanks. Will fix in v8.

Thanks,
