This could be arranged if you really want to do that. You could post a
patch series and have various maintainers ack it and then Samuel could
take it all through MFD tree.

This is up to you however. The change does not fix any bugs and error
unwinding paths in the input portion of the driver are simple enough, so
I do not see a very strong reason for moving to managed devices. I said
that I would not be opposed to this (given that conversion is solid),
but that was never a request form me.

Thanks.
