That being said, going with MFD in this case seems quite overkill to
me. MFD makes a lot of sense when each function has its own resources.
As this isn't the case here, a single driver registering both an hwmon
interface and a pinctrl interface would seem sufficient to me. But I
think Guenter already discussed this in the past so I'll let him
continue and decide.


That is what I had suggested as well (though we were talking gpio
at the time). Laszlo didn't want to do it this way for some reason.
Right now I don't really have an idea what to do.
