Agreed.

I have NAK'd using platform devices as children for things that are not
platform devices. MFD is the thing that is wed to platform devices at
the moment, so unless you want to change MFD to not enforce that (and
last I looked the MFD maintainer said no), then yes, we can't use MFD.

And PCI resources, you will have drivers that want that. But those are
easy to share :)
