Lee, btw. I noticed from another discussion that you mentioned that
mfd_cell->id should not be used outside MFD.

My sub-drivers uses this to get DPLL channel number that should be used
for the particular sub-device.

E.g.
1) MFD_CELL_BASIC("zl3073x-dpll", NULL, NULL, 0, 2);
2) MFD_CELL_BASIC("zl3073x-phc", NULL, NULL, 0, 3);

In these cases dpll_zl3073x sub-driver will use DPLL channel 2 for this
DPLL sub-device and ptp_zl3073x sub-driver will use DPLL channel 3 for
this PHC sub-device.

platform_device->id cannot be used for this purpose in conjunction with
PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO as that ->id can be arbitrary.

So if I cannot use mfd_cell->id what should I use for that case?
Platform data per cell with e.g. the DPLL channel number?

Thanks for advices...

Ivan
