Guys, please be a bit more definite.

We should get over this long ping-pong game. It has been clearly
stated that either way is fine, and there was no objection for months
to either way either, and now the feature is just not moving forward.
This is the first time I have this sorrow experience that I am having
here in hwmon, unfortunately. A lot of effort spent, and nothing got
done.

As I said before, disagreeing is fine and natural. What is not fine is
wasting people's time for months and not making it clear what the
hwmon maintainers want, and months later after the work, the opposite
is claimed than before.

I am sorry if it sounds harsh, but currently this is how I see the
situation. If the MFD solution gets rejected, I consider it a huge
maintainer mistake since both of you were involved, and have never
ever spoken up for months that this would not be acceptable. In fact,
as quoted earlier in this thread, the opposite had been said.

I would like to get over the hwmon situation as soon as possible, so
please guys kindly advise what you would *really* like to see. I do
not really mind who makes the decision, but rejecting months of work
due to miscommunication is still better than continuing the same!
