This is completely normal for MFD drivers, it's still much easier to
review things if individual subsystem maintainers can easily get to the
code for their subsystem, any Reviewed-bys or whatever can be sensibly
applies to relevant code and ideally people can apply patches as they're
ready if there's no build time dependencies or Kconfig symbols which
prevent build without the dependencies being merged.
