Re: [PATCH] mfd: palmas: initialise client->of_node for dummy createdclient

[Graeme Gregory]

I discussed this with Grant Likely and we came to the same conclusion
that this was the only way to "fix" the issue. But his concern was
because dummys have a probe/remove of their own this might cause issues
in some cases. His opinion was to do this the probe/remove of the dummys
should also be removed to make them not real devices.

I have added him to CC in case my memory is faulty!

This is a generic issue which will affect all multi address i2c mfds.
