It's not a memory controller in the sense that I think most people would
interpret the phrase, but I guess it's similar in function to
mvebu-devbus.  If drivers/memory is broad enough to cover such things,
and doesn't have a memory controller subsystem that drivers are supposed
to register with, then that could work.

Are things in drivers/mfd expected to interact with mfd-core.c?  It's
not clear to me what that does or how it would be useful to the IFC
code.
