I choose -1 because 0 is also valid.
So I can have macro for INVALID register which is -1 and use here, other 
places direct register as STATUS2.

MFD is initializing the irq and so it will not fail on this particular case.
Even if error, the regmap_add_irq should fail.

Let me handle error at this point only to avoid any assumption and 
further processing with error, by returning error.

I am thinking that having compatible for each device which it supports 
is better.

In MFD, I have made all sub module of max20024 as max20024-<module>.
I have not mixed the sub module name for max20024 with max77620 module.
