I have no idea about how to split MFD parts out from this driver
currently. The MFD part just have mfd cells filling and the call
mfd_add_hotplug_devices to register mfd devices. How to module them
as an independent driver?
Would you give some hints or recommendations?

And I am a little comfused about where this USB device driver should
be put to (drivers/mfd or drivers/usb).

As far as I know, where a driver should be put is based on what
it provides. This driver just do some urb package transfer to provides
multi-functions, such as GPIO function, I2C function, SPI function.
so it should be under drivers/mfd folder. Please correct me, if
something is wrong. Thanks
