Some comments on your code:

As Mark noticed already, you dont really want users to explicitely select this
obscure mfd driver to get their audio and vibre driver selectable. It should
be the other way around, and I think you already agreed with that.

This could really use the mfd-core API, and avoid duplicating code.
You just would have to define a couple cells, and call mfd_add_devices on
them.

I think you're missing a platform_device_unregister() here (or an
mfd_remove_devices() if you're going to switch to the mfd-core API)

Cheers,
