Would this patch still be needed in its current form?
I don't have this fully mapped out, so I'm not positive. I think it would be needed though. Felix and Ocelot need regmaps and will need to get them from somewhere. The VSC7512 switch driver will need to provide the regmap directly (current form) or indirectly (by requesting it from the MFD parent).
I'll be looking more into MFD devices as well. The madera driver seems like one I'd use to model the VSC751X MFD after - just from a brief look around the drivers/mfd directory.
