The way these things have often been dealt with is to just merge the
code via the various trees and rely on -next for build testing - they
won't cause bisection issues as the lack of the MFD will prevent the
config being enabled, everything goes in in a single release and we
still get to keep all the code for each subsystem together.

Of course, since the code isn't even signed off we've got a way to go
yet...
