The patch looks good to me, however, the patch doesn't apply cleanly
if you have [1] already applied, and if not, then is this patch ([2])
which doesn't apply cleanly. To not have interdependencies I'd suggest
apply first this patch and remove the following from [1]

diff --git a/drivers/mfd/cros_ec_dev.c b/drivers/mfd/cros_ec_dev.c
index eafd06f62a3a..cad12da7f884 100644

+++ b/drivers/mfd/cros_ec_dev.c

 static void __remove(struct device *dev)

With this change, [1] can go through the Benson tree and [2] through
Lee tree independently. With the above change feel free to add my

If you want I can do this rework for you.
