Lee,
This issue was discussed in late July regarding this patch Matt Fleming submitted:
[PATCH 1/5] iTCO_wdt: Expose watchdog properties using platform data
You asked why there were multiple calls to mfd_add_devices() in the driver.
The reason that I provided was that the WDT cells can be registered even
if the GPIO cells cannot. And vice versa.
Having their cells stored in the same array added to the illusion that a
failure preparing/registering the cells of one should cause all cells to
be unregistered.
