I thought the same thing after your first email. My thought was "how do
I indent that?" :-)

My expectation is to set something up in drivers/mfd/ocelot-{spi,i2c}.c
and have an if/else / switch. PCIe might actually be our first hardware
spin.

Yep - I definitely get the point. And thanks for the review.

The other (bigger?) issue is around how this MFD can be loaded as a
module. Right now it is pretty straightforward to say
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MFD_OCELOT). Theres a level of nuance if
CONFIG_MFD_OCELOT=m while the child devices are compiled in
(CONFIG_PINCTRL_MICROCHIP_SGPIO=y for example). It still feels like this
code belongs somewhere in platform / resource / device / mfd...?

It might be perfectly valid to have multiple SGPIO controllers - one
local and one remote / SPI. But without the CONFIG_MFD_OCELOT module
loaded, I don't think the SGPIO module would work.

This patch set deals with the issue by setting MFD_OCELOT to a boolean -
but in the long run I think a module makes sense. I admittedly haven't
spent enough time researching (bashing my head against the wall) this,
but this seems like a good opportunity to at least express that I'm
expecting to have to deal with this issue soon. I met with Alexandre at
ELC this past week, and he said Arnd (both added to CC) might be a good
resource - but again I'd like to do a little more searching before
throwing it over the wall.
