Of course, sorry for the poor description.

Here is an example of the imx6qdl-phytec-phycore-som.dtsi which uses
the DA9062 multi-functional device. The DA9062 has five mfd-cell
devices with compatibles defined as subfunctions. The devicetree needs
and uses just three of them:

...
pmic: pmic@58 {                                                       
compatible = "dlg,da9062";                                            
pinctrl-names = "default";                                            
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_pmic>;                                          
reg = <0x58>;                                                         
interrupt-parent = <&gpio1>;                                          
interrupts = <2 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW>;                                  
interrupt-controller;                                                 
gpio-controller;                                                      
#gpio-cells = <2>;                                                    
                                                                      
da9062_rtc: rtc {                                                     
    compatible = "dlg,da9062-rtc";                                    
};                                                                    
                                           
da9062_onkey: onkey {                                                 
    compatible = "dlg,da9062-onkey";                                  
};                                                                    
                                                                      
watchdog {                                                            
    compatible = "dlg,da9062-watchdog";                               
    dlg,use-sw-pm;                                                    
}
...


Since the driver iterates through the mfd_cells-struct tries matching
compatibles in the devicetree MFD node, it throws a warning when there
is no counterpart in the devicetree.

In fact, I could also evalutate oder devicetree's using MFD-devices not
to it's full content.

Yes, I will send a v2 ASAP. Thank you for the advice.
