Right if we go with MFD (which IMHO would be the cleaner approach)
then the base driver registering the regmap + cells / child devices
would live under drivers/mfd, there reboot/shutdown driver under
drivers/power/reset/ , gpio under drivers/gpio and any new
functionalities in the correct places for those functionalities.
