Subject: [GIT] [2.6.39] MFD fix

Hi Linus,

This is an MFD fix for 2.6.39.
The fix is for allowing MFD sub devices drivers to reach both their MFD cell
pointers and their platform data ones. We were previously doint that through
mfd_get_data(), but that could be troublesome for generic IP drivers being
used as both MFD sub devices drivers and generic platform drivers.
We fixed that by adding an MFD cell pointer to the platform_device structure,
and that will also allow us to get rid of the mfd_get_data() routine. I'll
leave that for the next merge window as it touches more than 20 drivers.
Greg and Grant reviewed this fix, and Greg ACKed it.

Thanks in advance for pulling this:
