Do we really want to create MFD cells like this (which are really Linux internal things and might vary if another OS or another version of Linux changes its internal abstractions) from the device tree?quoted
We're not creating them. We're merely using current infrastructure.*Very* recently added infrastructure which caused you to notice this...
No, I mean the MFD method is current infrastructure. Using it with DT is new, yes.

Before, when we probed each device from Device Tree we came up against some fairly major limitations of the Device Tree. As a result, Arnd and I agreed that this was the way to go.I'm really unconvinced that instnatiating the MFD cells from device tree is in general a good idea.
Well it just doesn't work the other way.
