Subject: [PATCH 0/2] mfd: platform/chrome: some more cleanups between these subsystems.

Dear Lee, Benson,

This is another patchset to try to cleanup a bit more the interaction
between the mfd subsystem and platform/chrome.

The first patch moves some cros-ec include files from include/linux/mfd to
platform/chrome. They are specific to the lpc transport driver and are not
related to the mfd subsystem, so, there is no reason to have them living
in include/linux/mfd.

The second patch tries to cleanup and fix some kerneldoc commments in
the remaining mfd/cros-ec include files. For now I only improved a bit
the documentation and fixed the warnings reported by kerneldoc. I think
that there is still a lot of improvement pending, specially in the
cros_ec_commands.h file, but this is something I'd like to have the
agreement of the chromeos folks as I know this file is used as interface
for the EC firmware. As far as I know the kernel doesn't cares about this,
but I know this is source of conflicts for the chromeos folks.
Usually, in the chromeos kernel, the cros_ec_commands file is synced
with the version available from the EC firmware but maybe we should
reconsider this and have a well documented file in the kernel and sync
in the other way. I am just thinking out loud.

Best regards,
 Enric
