That was what I thought we agreed.

However, I left the final decision to you. If you do not think this
is a reasonable i.e. the comment alone will not be enough to prevent
people from abusing the API, then leave it as it is.

Bear in mind that I think this introduces a build dependency on the
MFD driver for *each and every* other source file which includes this
header. If you choose the current solution, you will need to handle
that accordingly.
