Hi Rob,

Thanks for the feedback! I'll include these changes in my next set.

Ahh... I see this now. A spi driver and an i2c driver (or otherwise)
can share the same compatible string, and the device tree sorts that
out for me. Thanks!

This one has gone back and forth a couple times. The base addresses were
hard-coded in the driver and kept out of the device tree. But I couldn't
explicitly differentiate between mfd children "mdio0" and "mdio1" below,
so I recently added the address cells back in. This way mfd_cell->of_reg
and mfd_cell->use_of_reg can be used.

Unless suggested otherwise, I'll add size in here. As it is right now,
that size will be essentially ignored though. The resources (base and
size) are all defined in drivers/mfd/ocelot-core.c during the last patch
of this series.
