Hmm, that would be a regression. Current users do not specify an interrupt
in the devicetree yet, so the MFD driver would stop working on these devices
completely.
Therefore I think we should keep the existing functionality if there is no
IRQ specified in the devicetree and ignore the error. The new subdevices
are checking the IRQ availability and give error messages and have
reduced functionality.
