Having the MFD core part just do devm_of_platform_populate() leaves out
dependencies between the MFD core and it's child devices.

There are also a lot of board specific configuration to be done for many
child devices such as ADC wiring, GPIO pins used, and macro firmware
usage.

Not sure what all board specific stuff needs to be configured for this
driver yet, but it seems at least the macro interrupt wiring needs to
be configured. I would not be surprised to find GPIOs or ADC being used
for some connector detection too.
