For the regulator driver to be probed we do need a separate compatible 
right? may be I didn't get your question..

My understanding is we should have a separate compatible for each 
peripheral under the parent mfd node.. like gpios, temp alarm, 
regulators etc..

So, if i understand correctly, we don't have to mention these in the 
documentation as these are handled at framework level?
