Agreed, I've made the change in my tree.

Using this framework, how is it possible to create  the devices that I
do down below. For each subdevice, I need three resources:

1) MODULbus registers -- PCI BAR3 + (0x200 * module_num)
2) PLX Control Registers -- PCI BAR4
3) IRQ

Specifically, the way IORESOURCE_MEM resources are copied seems wrong.
They start at the base address of only one resource and use the offsets
provided in the struct mfd_cell. See the if-statement at
drivers/mfd/mfd-core.c line 48.

I need two use two different parent resources. The mfd_add_devices()
function doesn't support this.

Because that is how the device works ;) There is a comment up above that
describes them as the "PLX control registers". Are you suggesting that I
add a comment here too?

I think lots of other PCI devices just use hard-coded numbers here.
They're device specific. You won't be able to program for the device at
all if you don't know the meaning of each PCI BAR.

Should I add a patch to the series for this?

Thanks,
