Ok, so I guess I realized what is the problem:

adp1653 registers itself as a subdev, but there's no device that
register it as its part.

(ad5820 driver seems to have the same problem).

Is there example "dummy" device I could use, for sole purpose of
having these devices appear in /dev? They are on i2c, so both can work
on their own.

Thanks,
