Please don't roll your own API.

Use 'struct mfd_cell' like everyone else does.

It has been suggested in previous reviews to use separate function to
register mfd device, and to make mfd_cell allocate dynamically because
struc mxs-lradc is allocated dynamically.
But I can revrse changes and make mfd_cells allocate staticaly
wthout separate function.

I think making mfd_cells members of struct mxs-lradc will address all
review comments.

No, please don't do that either.

It'd be nice if you explained in detail why not. Otherwise this is just empty splat.
