First of all, this is the wrong device. Further down is listed a second
machine, the da9062, with more subdevices:
static const struct mfd_cell da9062_devs[] = {
{
.name = "da9062-core",
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(da9062_core_resources),
.resources = da9062_core_resources,
},
{
.name = "da9062-regulators",
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(da9062_regulators_resources),
.resources = da9062_regulators_resources,
},
{
.name = "da9062-watchdog",
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(da9062_wdt_resources),
.resources = da9062_wdt_resources,
.of_compatible = "dlg,da9062-watchdog",
},
{
.name = "da9062-thermal",
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(da9062_thermal_resources),
.resources = da9062_thermal_resources,
.of_compatible = "dlg,da9062-thermal",
},
{
.name = "da9062-rtc",
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(da9062_rtc_resources),
.resources = da9062_rtc_resources,
.of_compatible = "dlg,da9062-rtc",
},
{
.name = "da9062-onkey",
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(da9062_onkey_resources),
.resources = da9062_onkey_resources,
.of_compatible = "dlg,da9062-onkey",
},
{
.name = "da9062-gpio",
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(da9062_gpio_resources),
.resources = da9062_gpio_resources,
.of_compatible = "dlg,da9062-gpio",
},
};

I think you're right here. But this is design specific and has not much
to do with my request.

The problem I want to address lies in the mfd_add_device function in
the mfd-core:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF) && parent->of_node && cell-
>of_compatible) {
for_each_child_of_node(parent->of_node, np) {
if (of_device_is_compatible(np, cell->of_compatible)) {
/* Ignore 'disabled' devices error free */
if (!of_device_is_available(np)) {
ret = 0;
goto fail_alias;
}
ret = mfd_match_of_node_to_dev(pdev, np, cell);
if (ret == -EAGAIN)
continue;
if (ret)
goto fail_alias;
break;
}
}
if (!pdev->dev.of_node)
pr_info("%s: Failed to locate of_node [id: %d]\n",
cell->name, platform_id);
}
Interestingly, all subdevices defined in the driver are registered as
platform devices from the MFD framework, regardless of a devicetree
entry or not. The preceding code checks the subdevice cells with an
additional compatible. In case a device has no devicetree entry, an
irritating failed-message is printed on the display. I'm not sure if
this was the intention but the framework somehow forces the users to
describe all subdevices of an MFD. I think the info print is not
needed. It makes more sense to set it as a debug print.
