Acked-for-MFD-by isn't a valid tag, scripts/checkpatch.pl should tell
you about it.

In general you may add a comment to a tag, like this:

  Acked-by: Lee Jones <lee@...nel.org> # for MFD

In this particular case, the comment is unnecessary because Lee is the
MFD maintainer, hence his ack itself implies the MFD subsys.
