I believe this patch could be picked separately and not made part of
this series since is fixing a bug that happens on most drivers using
the regmap-irq API. This will avoid cross-subsystem churn for people.

Your patch 6/6 does not introduce a regression since the bug already
exists in the MFD driver, it just makes it more noticeable since it
is easier to unbind the max77686 RTC driver than the MFD one.
