We didn't merge that version of the patchset, but one getting the
platform_data pointer from mfd_get_data(). That introduces the issue you're
talking about below.

I agree. Since the vast majority of the MFD subdevices are MFD specific IPs, I
overlooked that part. The impacted drivers are the timberdale and the DaVinci
voice codec ones.
To fix that problem I propose 2 alternatives:
1) When declaring the sub devices cells, the MFD driver should specify an
mfd_data_size value for sub devices that are not MFD specific. It's the MFD
driver responsibility to set the cell properly, and the non MFD specific
drivers are kept MFD agnostic.
See my patch below for the timberdale case.
2) Revert the mfd_get_data() call for getting sub devices platform data
pointers. That was introduced to ease the MFD cell sharing work, so if we take
this route we'll need the cs5535 MFD driver to pass its cells as platform_data
pointer. Andres, can you confirm that this would be fine for the
mfd_clone_cell() routine to keep working ?
