Again, platform devices are ONLY for actual platform devices. A PCI
device is NOT a platform device, sorry.
If MFD needs to be changed to handle non-platform devices, fine, but
maybe what you really need to do here is make your own "bus" of
individual devices and have drivers for them, as you can't have a
"normal" PCI driver for these.
Again, please stop abusing platform devices.
