Hi Rob,

I have a small questions: Can I drop "simple-mfd" and just add it
when the new subdevice is added? I know the binding is just a example,
but it may be better to follow the actual SoC configuration.
In addition, most device node should reference this node by using
vendor property, and only at most one (or two) subdevices. So adding
simple-mfd property can be delayed, dt node itself could be more
important.
