Due to the lack of comments on this driver, i started grepping LKML for
previous MFD reviews. Now the driver allows multiple instances and no
longer keeps pcap_chip as a global(as per Samuel comments on U300/AB3100
driver), result is that resource-less mfd_cells are no longer the only
issue so I can use the mfd_ API: Now I also need a way to pass a
pcap_chip pointer to the subdevs.

Ok, will do.


I will send a new version of the patch tomorrow, after i finish
converting all the subdevices to the new code.

Thanks!
