We can see what changes/support you added in the Git log.  No need to
reflect that here at all.  If everyone did that, the headers would be
a complete mess.

Just:

... will do fine.

I'm still not entirely sure what the problem is.

Why are you calling platform_device_register() instead of using the
MFD API?

Where does the 'struct device' actually get loaded into pdata?
