Ugh, this all is pretty ugly business. Can we teach MFD to allow
specifying firmware node to be attached to the platform devices it
creates in mfd_add_device() so that the leaf drivers simply call
device_property_read_XXX() on their own device and not be bothered with
weird OF refcount issues or what node they need to locate and parse?

Thanks!
