I don't think it's necessary to have the MFD node if only one of the
two modes can be used based on a DT property. It should be enough
to have both the rtc and the wdt driver list the same compatible
string and check the property in the probe function to decide if
they want to drive the device or not:

	ret = of_property_read_u32(np, "st,lpc-mode", &mode);
	if (!ret && mode != ST_LPC_MODE_RTC)
		return -ENXIO
