I'm _guessing_ this could as well be <linux/export.h>.

See above.

All of the exports until now are all made public via
drivers/mfd/88pm88x.h. So they're not available for code outside of the
files this patch adds. I think the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() lines are not
needed. Is that right?

See above.

This export is made available through include/linux/mfd/88pm88x.h. Do
you expect pm88x_of_match to be used by some other module?

No __init here?

No __exit here?

But if this code stays built-in only than pm88x_i2c_exit() would never
be called. (I think it will be thrown away during the build, actually.)
So then the entire function should be dropped.

MFD_88PM88X is bool, but the patch adds module specific code too (ie,
code that serves no purpose when built-in). Did you perhaps intend for
MFD_88PM88X to be tristate?

Thanks,
