Subject: MFD/OF: simple-mfd not being matched in 4.1.x

Hi,

A patch for adding 'simple-mfd' match to drivers/of/platform.c was
added to the kernel tree, but  is not in the 4.1.x long term branch.
However drivers in the branch (such as at91rm9200 watchdog) requires
this.

linux-stable commit id 22869a9eca4ea5b534538d160b68c7aef44e378a

Could the patch be applied to the 4.1.x tree?

Link to the patch in question on kernel gitweb:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/patch/drivers/of/platform.c?id=22869a9eca4ea5b534538d160b68c7aef44e378a

I've cherry-picked it locally on a 4.1.6 arm kernel, and it seems to works fine.

Best regards
