I have every day 100-200 new patches, so not every cover letter gets
enough attention. Your did not say this is part of MFD, just mentioned
some build dependency.

Anyway, job of submitter is to make the patch and its context readable
to the reviewers.

There is literally nothing about including in parent MFD node in DT.
Just take a look:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y1q5jW8ff0aUdjPd@shell.armlinux.org.uk/

Or maybe you refer to this:
"previously posted before the last merge window."
Yes, so I will go through hundreds of emails from a week or months to
satisfy you?

"this driver is dependent on the
Apple SMC driver in order to be buildable and usable."

The only hint... it's about driver, not MFD. Make it obvious for
readers, not obvious for you.

"It is expected
that this Apple SMC driver will be merged via Lee's MFD tree."

Maybe there is dependency, maybe not, who the heck knows.
