these drivers cannot cooperate, the different ftdi function modes
use same device pins as in UART mode. So, you either can use the
device in UART interface mode or in some different mode. I do not
load the ftdi_sio module or do unbind the USB device from the
ftdio_sio driver and bind it to the mfd driver, e.g.:

  sh -c "echo -n "3-2:1.0" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/ftdi_sio/unbind"
  sh -c "echo -n "3-2:1.0" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/ftdi-mfd/bind"

thanks,
