I've checked out the regmap and it really sounds good.
Before I will made those changes which is almost a complete replacement
of the interface, i would like to know exactly why the slaves are no platform
devices.
For now I think the implementation of the menf21bmc using an mfd as the i2c_driver
and the slaves as platform devices is correct.
Regmap would be just another type of interfaces which I could use.
Please correct me if I'm'wrong.

Andy
