Hi,
Commit 6e3f62f0793e ("mfd: core: Fix platform-device id generation") changed the way platform device ids are generated from mfd id base and cell ids in mfd_add_device(). Unfortunately the change in question breaks mfd drivers which are using mfd_add_devices() with mfd id base equal to -1 and non-zero cell ids (used to distinguish cells with the same name field). The result is that mfd core tries to register platform devices with the same name which obviously fails and leads to mfd device probe failure.
Relevant error messages (in this case for MAX8997 PMIC driver):

Changing mfd_add_devices() mfd id base from -1 to 0 and at the same time setting proper cell ids for all cells fixes the issue.
MAX8997 PMIC fix was tested on Exynos4210 Origen board, the rest of patches is compile tested only.
Changes since v1: - corrected 'stable' mailing list address, no other changes
