Subject: Re: [PATCH V2 01/20] mfd: Add resource managed apis for
 mfd_add_devices

Applied, thanks.

> Add resource managed API devm_mfd_add_devices() for the mfd_add_devices().
> 
> This helps in reducing code in error path as it is not required
> to call mfd_remove_devices() explicitly to remove all child-devices.
> In some cases, it also helps not to implement .remove() callback
> which get called during driver unbind.

> - Run checkpatch with --strict option and fix warning.
> - Remove devm_ for mfd_remove_devices() as this is not used.
> - Consider V1 review comment on error handling.
