No need to do this. If instead you use a compatible string and set
it's MFD cell's .of_compatible property, the MFD core will set
pdev->dev.of_node for you.

No need for this either. Just check for the device's of_node.

This will overwrite pdata which is wrong.

pdata should always take precedence over DT.

I still thing this is superfluous. Why don't you run though the nodes
here instead of doing it in MFD and passing this stuff through?
