It wouldn't have made the v4.20-rcs anyway.  Even if you did send it
earlier.  I only send fixes to that -rcs which fix issues introduced
during the current release cycle.

If memory serves, doesn't this driver now (or will in the very near
future) use devm_* for device creation?  That would make this patch
either incorrect (should be devm_mfd_remove_devices() if really
required) or moot?
