So the MFD driver contains a GPIO one, and an i2c bus driver.
You should really split this code into at least 3 pieces: 1 for the GPIO
(drivers/gpio), another one for your i2c bus algorithm (drivers/i2c/busses)
and a last one for the actual MFD driver. Your Kconfig entries will define the
dependencies between them.
Then you can define your SoC subdevices as MFD cells and use the MFD APIs to
add them as platform devices.

Cheers,
Samuel.
