Can this be updated?

Do you mean updating the copyrights to cover this year? E.g.
something like this:

	 * Copyright (c) 2013-2021 Linaro Ltd.
	 * Copyright (c) 2011-2021 Hisilicon.
	 * Copyright (c) 2020-2021 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd  

Right? Or are you meaning something else?

Yes, that's it.  I know this is just a move, but to MFD, it's new.

That's not how copyright works. Unless Linaro and Hisilicon made
nontrivial changes every year from 2011/2013 to 2021 you should not
change those lines like this.
