Kinda, I don't really want to add multiple compatibles for the
device. This is just a CODEC device, even in device tree it
seems a little weird to have multiple compatibles for a single
I2C device. On ACPI I am pretty sure it would be considered flat
out right wrong. The fact Linux supports the device using multiple
drivers is seemed to be a Linux implementation detail, rather than
describing the hardware.

The original (internal) version of the patches just had a single
firmware node, but the DT schema would not verify because the
node is both a pinctrl node and a spi node. And the pinctrl
schema requires the node to be called "pinctrl" and the spi
requires it to be called "spi", it is impossible to satisfy both.

Any advice/guidance you had on this one would be greatly
appreciated?

Yeah this is not problem to fix up, I was just unaware using the
id_table was preferrable for MFD components, there are a lot of
devices doing it both ways.

Thanks,
