Did you mean to include a thin codec driver as part of this series to
support the audio-to-haptics use-case? I don't see one.

As Lee correctly points out, this isn't an MFD despite the title of the
commit message, and is sort of an abuse of the API.

What you seem to actually want is a true MFD driver responsible for
initializing common resources such as regmap, an IRQ chip, etc. That
driver then adds input and codec drivers as children.

At the moment, you're more or less treating the input driver as the
MFD with one child, but that is not the correct pattern.
