Subject and commit msg: there is no such hardware as "MFD subsys". Is
this a PMIC? Does not look like. You must describe here hardware, not
Linux subsystem.

Please mention the dependency here.

What is "subsys"? Why is it in MFD directory? SoC components like
system-controllers do not go to MFD.

Your patchset is not bisectable. What's more, you have dependency
between patches, so bindings cannot go via separate trees: mfd and rtc.
You need to make this *EXPLICIT* in the cover letter or patch changelog.

I do not see any resources in MFD block, so why having it as separate
node? What other devices you did not describe here? You mentioned
restart and 8051, so where are they? Which driver implements them?


Best regards,

I don't think this is a PMIC device. the RTC restart and 8051
configure register share one
common range address, and the address have other function that power management.

Thanks,I will fix it.

This device has multiple different functions, because they have 8051 subsystem,
so I named him "subsys". I will carefully consider and rename it.

ok,I will fix it.

I'am sorry for that other drivers have not been implemented yet. I
will implement it
after rtc. They have the same address range, so I use mfd to describe them.

Bindings should be complete even if your driver is not ready. After
looking at such device node, I say you do not need that rtc child. If
you sent complete bindings, then of course discussion would be
different, but...
