It'd be much better to describe what the above actually means - what
changes have been made in the introduction of the MFD driver?  It does
feel like there's not as much abstraction as I'd expect between the MFD
and the child, there's a lot of peering into the parent and enabling and
disabling individual clocks for example rather than either having this
hidden behind a function or just having the clocks owned by the child
driver.  The driver also isn't using the MFD interfaces to pass through
the register subblocks for the IP - instead the child driver is peering
straight into the MFD structure and looking at a variable in there.
