So, adding an MFD cell pointer to the device structure allows us to cleanly
pass both pieces of information, while keeping all the MFD sub drivers
independant from the MFD core if they want/can.

Why isn't an MFD the parent of its component devices?

It actually is. How would that help here ?

Cheers,
Samuel.
