Msm on the other hand declares the struct mfd_cell subdevice[] array in
the board file and passes this on to the core driver via platfom data.

This way the platform data tells the core driver what kind of
silicon it has "hey, PM8058, guess what, you have an RTC!"
which looks backwards to me, especially given that it does
not need any fancy platform data at all, just two IRQ numbers
which the core driver can very well handle.

Indeed, and the RTC would still be useful even without IRQ support I
imagine (it should still be able to tell you the time).
