I agree that bool is a better type choice. See my comment at the end
regarding my reason for using cells.

I agree.

The cells variable isn't strictly necessary when we're only dealing
with one cell registration, as we have if only looking at the lpc_ich
and gpio-ich patches. The iTCO_wdt patch adds a second call to
mfd_add_devices, so when we return we're interested if either of the
calls succeeded. This was intended to be a forward thinking
implementation, but I have no qualms about simplifying it in the
initial lpc_ich patch.
