Will the resulting code actually link if the MFD driver hasn't been
built?  Looks like it given that everything looks like hard coded
vtable dereferences and there's no API from the MFD driver to its users.
I'm really unsure what the MFD driver is supposed to do now, it'll only
ever instantiate a single subdevice and offers no services to users - it
seems better to just remove it, it looks like it's just creating
needless complication.

I have to say it looks like the locking at best a bit odd, some of the
APIs require that the CODEC driver lock a lock from the core by hand
while others have no locking in the interface.
