Well the simple-mfd and syscon topic recommended by you when Device tree
alone is used.
I wounder still I receive review/improvements comments for this mfd
patch and also another
to omit this driver using simple-mfd (rework the series).
Confused, not sure which is valid and will be accepted at the end.
