Mark, what do you think?

I can't find any reference to the "Kontron sl28 CPLD" online.

Is there a datasheet?

Ideally this would match the Kconfig subject line.

This is out of date.

Why do you need this structure?

This is now a shared memory allocator and not an MFD at all.

I'm clamping down on these type of drivers!

Please find a better way to accomplish this.

Potentially using "simple-mfd" and "simple-regmap".

The former already exists and does what you want.  The latter doesn't
yet exist, but could solve your and lots of other contributor's
issues.

Heck maybe I'll implement it myself if this keeps happening.

If the struct definition is in here, how do you use it elsewhere?
