This really doesn't seem like it should be at all hard to resolve...

Clearly.  This is all very circular.  Obviously if you're intent on
using a phandle specific to the MFD child then you need to have that in
the device tree but this is because you're making the child devices
externally visible...  Clearly if we're not going to use the MFD
subdevices in the DT then the links ought to reference the chip.
