I wasn't sure of the plan, but this makes sense to bring it through MFD.
Fortunately there's enough work for me on the DSA front that there's no
way that'll land before this merge window - so I have no objection to it
going any non-net-next path.

I'll look to Lee as to whether there should be a v14 with the header
guard addition per Vladimir's review, or whether that should be in a
future patch set. I'm happy to go either way.
