These need to be looked at carefully, at least the sm501 change is
totally bogus, breaks everything, and stems from a total lack of
understanding of how the drivers interact.

The I/O resource that's remapped and handled by the MFD takes the full
size, while the region request is purposely trimmed down so only the
registers needed by the MFD driver are reserved by the MFD driver. Other
drivers (like sm501fb) will have their own region requests within the
same resource at different offsets, all of which are broken after this
change.

As such, 311e54c07e784fe63d421f724dcc597d1f82ccad at least needs to be
reverted. I haven't looked at the other two, but if it's a similar
mechanical change then those should be dropped, too.
