The functions in rts5260.c are called by drivers/mmc/host/rtsx_pci_sdmmc.c, it cross
mmc subsystem, so add Ulf Hansson.
Because many other similar drivers are in mfd, if relocate rts5260 now will lead to a much bigger modification,
and customer is in need of this patch. I think put rts5260 in mfd is better now. If mfd is really not the right place,
I will relocate it later not in this patch.
Greg, what do you think of putting rts5260 in mfd?
