Only slightly related with your patch but some of the MFD driver for
PMICs used in Exynos boards (like MAX77686) have a tristate Kconfig
symbol while others like this one have a boolean. Do you know if there
are any restrictions w.r.t build this as module or is just an
arbitrary decision? I'm asking since probably we should either allow
this to build as a module or convert the others to boolean.

Patch looks good to me:
