Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 12/12] mfd: cros_ec: Add throttler sub-device

Hi Matthias,

I am also interested on the answer of Brian comments :). One small comment.

As Brian said I think that this should go in cros_ec_dev?

Even when only there is one cell we tend to use the array format (see
i.e the cros-ec-rtc and the others in cros_ec_dev).

+static const struct mfd_cell ec_throttler_cells[] = {
+     { .name = "cros-ec-throttler" }
+};
