Hi Mika,

Hmm, there is a way in struct mfd_cell to match child devices using _HID
so is there something preventing you from using that?

Not that I know about. Can you describe this method? I guess I also
don't need to set the mfd_cell pnpid either for this special case device.


So we using the mfd_cell to match child devices using _HID. At a glance, I don't actually see other drivers to use mfd_cell_acpi_match.pnpid .

Anyway we don't use static tables as we need to update the resources of the cell dynamically. However I do look at a driver like intel_quark_i2c_gpio.c, and this dynamically modifies the value of global mfd_cell array here:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/mfd/intel_quark_i2c_gpio.c#L266

I know the cell array is only used at probe time, but this did not look to be good standard practice to me.

Thanks,
John
