I think you need to have a clear idea that you can explain as to what
the MFD is and how it's split up. What's being abstracted, what's not
and why. Without knowing anything about the device or what the series
is trying to accomplish it's hard to be sure exactly what the best thing
to do is.

This is a memory mapped device so there should be no need to use regmap
unless you want to. The MFD subsystem has facilities for passing
through memory regions to subdevices.
