Subject: [PATCH v3 00/10] Simplify MFD Core

MFD currently has one over-complicated user.  CS5535 uses a mixture of
cell cloning, reference counting and subsystem-level call-backs to
achieve its goal of requesting an IO memory region only once across 3
consumers.  The same can be achieved by handling the region centrally
during the parent device's .probe() sequence.  Releasing can be handed
in a similar way during .remove().
 
While we're here, take the opportunity to provide some clean-ups and
error checking to issues noticed along the way.
 
This also paves the way for clean cell disabling via Device Tree being
