The pdata_size initialization is also not correct. This is not the array 
count but the size
of the platform data which is passed. Should be sizeof((_pdata))

I think the following change also crash in runtime:

/***
commit e60a946f05db2cac857025da6ffb72df48d3be54
Author: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>

     mfd: ab8500: Provide a small example using new MFD cell MACROs

***/

Should we have something MFD_CELL_RES, MFD_CELL_RES_PDATA, 
MFD_CELL_PDATA, for more common user and not to pass the NULL here.
