It looks like you're reinventing regmap.

- In the Kconfig entry for the MFD device:
select REGMAP_I2C

- Look in drivers/mfd/stw481x.c for an example using
<linux/regmap.h>

- Look into
drivers/regulator/stw481x-vmmc.c
for an example regmap MFD spawned child cell.

Yours,

Oh, thanks, Linus!

I will have a look.
