I'm not sure that's right. The ACCDET submodule does have some resources, IRQs,
that it registers in its mfd cell, see patch 2 of this series [1]. It also has
its own driver (sound/soc/codecs/mt6359-accdet.c) that probes based on this
compatible and handles those interrupts. Why would it not get its own node like
the other MFD cells?
