Muic needs a node to be used with extcon_get_edev_by_phandle().
Charger needs a node to reference a regulator.  

The pattern is to use the parent device's node.

So is extcon going to be a self-reference then?

Just for my understanding: I can see sub-nodes for MFD all over the
place. It is still not clear to me why sub-nodes aren't the right
choice in this specific case?

Thanks for the feedback,
