Hmm... that's annoying.  You've put the patch below your signature
'--', so my mailer cuts it off.

I'm confused.  What's the dependency?

There shouldn't be any issue applying input patches, just because
there isn't an MFD counterpart.  In fact, I would take prior
acceptance of the child into consideration (would be like a +1 vote)
when reviewing the MFD part.

One suggestion however, I would ask for the DT binding and the driver
to be separated, as per [0].
