Don't mix OF and MFD functionality.

Why don't you create a node for "iio_hwmon" and have
platform_of_populate() do your bidding?
We are using a stable binding which we cannot modify. This means, the DT
in its current state can only be modified to add features, which is not
the case of this driver (it is a rewriting of an existing driver which
uses the rtp node).
Then use .data = <defined model ID> and set up a switch() in .probe().
Uh? Why? It just adds a non-standard indirection, while using
of_match_device is very standard, and used extensively in Linux.
