This should be supplied in a separate patch.

As above please.

This line is cut unnecessarily short.

What is this used for?

Does the device itself have a address, or is it only contactable via
SPI?

Alphabetical please.

Right, I can probably save us a both a great deal of time here and
tell you right off of the bat that this is not an MFD.  MFDs will
either use the MFD API or something like of_platform_populate().

Glancing over the reminder of the driver, it looks like an alternative
of MFD or at least MFD-like.  I think drivers/platform would be a
better fit.
