[PATCH 0/6] mfd: audit and demodule drivers/mfd/ab* drivers

On Sat, 29 Oct 2016, Paul Gortmaker wrote:

Nothing new here ; just another instance where we had modular remove
and exit functions -- but the Makefile/Kconfig limited the use case to
being always built-in; hence the code is useless and needs removing.

So we remove the dead code and the misleading hints of modularity from
these drivers, hoping that we manage to prevent some new drivers from
copying these same old mistakes into pending new drivers.
