Hello,

The current TWL MFD driver has a number of problems which are
very well described by Russell King [0].
This series attemps to fix this by making the driver's private
structure available to child nodes.
A regulator driver for TWL6032 which makes use of the private
drvdata is introduced.
A driver for TWL6032 PMIC already exists in mainline,
twl-regulator, but it has the following drawbacks:
* has no mainline users
* it does not follow the recommended regulators binding since
it uses a compatible string for every regulator;
* it is broken
** the features flag is not set, hence the TWL6032
support is broken since it depends on TWL6032_SUBCLASS flag;
** even with that fixed, bit manipulations are wrong

If this receives positive feedback, I could convert all TWL drivers
to use drvdata, then get rid of the exported symbols.
