Subject: Re: [RFC] [PATCH] mfd: Fetch cell pointer from
platform_device->mfd_cell
This looks fine to me; just some minor points below.

Hm, given that most platform devices won't be mfd devices (and thus
mfd_cell will be NULL), is it better to rely on kfree's
unlikely(ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(...)), or have this be "if
(pa->pdev.mfd_cell) kfree(pa->pdev.mfd_cell);"?

I'd also suggest describing why we fall back to
platform_data; to the casual reader, it would be confusing. Perhaps
something to the effect of, "This maintains compatibility with
platform drivers whose devices aren't created by the mfd layer, and
expect platform_data to contain what would've otherwise been in
mfd_data."

Not much point checking pdev->mfd_cell and then using an abstraction.
I'd just do "const struct mfd_cell *cell = mfd_get_cell(pdev); if
(cell) return cell->mfd_data;" or "if (pdev->mfd_cell) return
pdev->mfd_cell->mfd_data;"
