Add the version of the EC in the Tolino Shine 2 HD
to the supported versions. It seems not to have an RTC
and does not ack data written to it.
The vendor kernel happily ignores write errors, using
I2C via userspace i2c-set also shows the error.
So add a quirk to ignore that error.
PWM can be successfully configured despite of that error.

To put across what you're trying to achieve, maybe call this:
ntxec_subdev_no_rtc[]
Then if other devices are added, the semantics/intent stays the same
and it won't have to be renamed.

You're over-complicating things.
Simply have a local mfd_cells variable that you assign either
'ntxec_subdev' or 'ntxec_subdev_pwm' to, then simply call
devm_mfd_add_devices() once.
It means you can also drop 'has_rtc'.

If there were more users it'd be better to have this in the core so that
problems we can detect like cache stuff if that's used but if it's just
one broken device it's probably not worth it, this seems like something
you'd have to try to end up with and which is going to cause timeout
problems with a lot of I2C controllers which would tank performance
enough that people would notice.

Andreas, what is the full amount of functionality this version of the EC
can ever provide?
If it's only PWM, I think ntxec_subdev_pwm fits well.
[ The next subdevice that I can foresee is battery monitoring. ]
Sorry for the delay,

I think it is only PWM. At least I could not see any other I2C access.

That is done via the RC5T619 on that device.

So Yoda, is this to go into the core, or stay where it is?

I'm not witness to any. If this is your first encounter too then
maybe just leave it where it is. At least for the moment.

Sounds reasonable, if more turn up the code can always be pulled into
the core.
