I'm OK with all patches going through MFD - I do not believe it will cause any merge issues.
Thanks Dmitry.
For the record I still do not like returning EBUSY when device is not available - I think if device can't serve any requests it should not exists at all.
While I tend to agree with this, in embedded systems this might (not certainly) cause issues. Embedded SW (middleware, high level) tends to take the underlaying HW as static. Before I can do the dynamic input device creation/destruction I need to make sure that the userspace is ready for this. I'm planning to address your concern regarding to twl6040, and at the same time I'm going to change the twl4030 vibra/MFD/audio driver to behave in a same way.
