Will do.

I have one further question about MFD in this patch too - should I keep
passing regmap into the driver via dev_get_drvdata(pdev->dev.parent),
or is explicit platform_data preferable?

Andy suggested platform_data allows more flexibility on the parent
device side (although I can't see upboard-pinctrl being used other than
as a child of the upboard driver).

I went with parent drvdata simply because that's what I found in other
MFD drivers and material [1].

Thank you!
