Woah, not like this.  I wanted to make the framework _more_ flexible.

Just this should do what you want:

diff --git a/drivers/mfd/simple-mfd-i2c.c b/drivers/mfd/simple-mfd-i2c.c
index 22159913bea0..f43be10c0e60 100644

@@ -44,6 +44,9 @@ static int simple_mfd_i2c_probe(struct i2c_client *i2c)
        else
                regmap_config = simple_mfd_data->regmap_config;
 
+       if (simple_mfd_data->max_register)
+               regmap_config->max_register = simple_mfd_data->max_register;
+
        regmap = devm_regmap_init_i2c(i2c, regmap_config);
        if (IS_ERR(regmap))
                return PTR_ERR(regmap);

Plus the one line change in drivers/mfd/simple-mfd-i2c.h.
