Mark (privately) mentioned to me that this patch can't possibly work
given the current Regmap configuration. Patches are accepted into
Mainline based on the premise that they are fully tested and working,
_prior_ to submitting [1].

It's also pretty pointless having an MFD driver without any
children, so unless (at least one of) the child device drivers have
been accepted by pull-time, your work will not be part of the
pull-request headed for Mainline.

Please inform me of your plans as you with to proceed.
