The architecture around the VSC7512 differs from existing felix drivers. In order to add support for all the chip's features (pinctrl, MDIO, gpio) the device had to be laid out as a multi-function device (MFD). One difference between an MFD and a standard platform device is that the regmaps are allocated to the parent device before the child devices are probed. As such, there is no need for felix to initialize new regmaps in these configurations, they can simply be requested from the parent device. Add support for MFD configurations by performing this request from the parent device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
