Indent this with a couple of spaces.

Only the SPDX line should contain C++ style comments.

Description at the top, copyright after.

An "MFD driver" isn't really a thing.  Please describe the device.

No need for double line spacing.

Are these registers?  Might be worth pre/post-fixing with _REG.

Why are you hand-rolling your own accessors?

These comments seem to be stating the obvious.

Please remove them.

All magic numbers should be defined?

Why 5000?

Then this is not allowed.

You need to fix this *before* submitting upstream.

TODO *before* submitting upstream.  This is not a development branch.

What does 'res' mean?

You don't need both (if any).

Why dbg?

What is the new layout?

Why don't you support it?

Why WARN?

if (pm_power_off)

Nope.

Error, but execution carries on anyway?

Is >0 valid?

Where do you use this?

Use .probe_new() and drop this.

Nothing to .remove()?

Only built-in?

No such thing as an MFD.

No TODOs.  Please fix before upstreaming.

Why don't you just check for the devices you *do* support?
