mfd: multifunction device drivers---多功能设备驱动开发；
A product or device that has multiple functions. An example of this might be a printer that also makes copies, faxes, and scans. Another example is a CD or DVD that might contain multiple applications on the same disk; this may be a Mac and PC version of the same software or media meant to be played on more than one platform. Also called multi function product (MFP), all-in-one.

源码主要是做了一些platform_device的注册和添加删除工作。

int mfd_add_devices(struct device *parent, int id,
		    struct mfd_cell *cells, int n_devs,
		    struct resource *mem_base,
		    int irq_base)
{
	int i;
	int ret = 0;
	atomic_t *cnts;

	/* initialize reference counting for all cells */
	cnts = kcalloc(n_devs, sizeof(*cnts), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!cnts)
		return -ENOMEM;

	for (i = 0; i < n_devs; i++) {
		atomic_set(&cnts[i], 0);
		cells[i].usage_count = &cnts[i];
		ret = mfd_add_device(parent, id, cells + i, mem_base, irq_base); 调用mfd_add_device()
		if (ret)
			break;
	}

	if (ret)
		mfd_remove_devices(parent);

	return ret;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(mfd_add_devices);

在这个函数中，参数cells是数组，个数为参数n_devs。用户调用此函数前初始化了cells部分内容，但其中成员由本函数初始化：

/*
 * This struct describes the MFD part ("cell").
 * After registration the copy of this structure will become the platform data
 * of the resulting platform_device
 */
struct mfd_cell {
	const char		*name;　　　　　
	int			id;                  

	/* refcounting for multiple drivers to use a single cell */
	atomic_t		*usage_count;　　　　//本函数初始化
	int			(*enable)(struct platform_device *dev);
	int			(*disable)(struct platform_device *dev);

	int			(*suspend)(struct platform_device *dev);
	int			(*resume)(struct platform_device *dev);

	/* platform data passed to the sub devices drivers */
	void			*platform_data;
	size_t			pdata_size;

	/*
	 * These resources can be specified relative to the parent device.
	 * For accessing hardware you should use resources from the platform dev
	 */
	int			num_resources;
	const struct resource	*resources;

	/* don't check for resource conflicts */
	bool			ignore_resource_conflicts;

	/*
	 * Disable runtime PM callbacks for this subdevice - see
	 * pm_runtime_no_callbacks().
	 */
	bool			pm_runtime_no_callbacks;
};

再来看mfd_add_device()

static int mfd_add_device(struct device *parent, int id,
			  const struct mfd_cell *cell,
			  struct resource *mem_base,
			  int irq_base)
{
	struct resource *res;
	struct platform_device *pdev;
	int ret = -ENOMEM;
	int r;

	pdev = platform_device_alloc(cell->name, id + cell->id); //申请pdev内存并初始化name和id
	if (!pdev)
		goto fail_alloc;

	res = kzalloc(sizeof(*res) * cell->num_resources, GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!res)
		goto fail_device;

	pdev->dev.parent = parent;
	pdev->dev.type = &mfd_dev_type;

	if (cell->pdata_size) {  //重新分配pdev->dev. platform_data内存并将cell->platform_data赋给它。
		ret = platform_device_add_data(pdev,
					cell->platform_data, cell->pdata_size);
		if (ret)
			goto fail_res;
	}

	ret = mfd_platform_add_cell(pdev, cell); //重新分配pdev->mfd_cell内存并将cell赋给它。
	if (ret)
		goto fail_res;

//初始化cell->num_resources 个数量的res将它赋给pdev->resource
	for (r = 0; r < cell->num_resources; r++) {
		res[r].name = cell->resources[r].name;
		res[r].flags = cell->resources[r].flags;

		/* Find out base to use */
		if ((cell->resources[r].flags & IORESOURCE_MEM) && mem_base) {
			res[r].parent = mem_base;
			res[r].start = mem_base->start +    //cell中的每个内存start都要加上mem_base->start
				cell->resources[r].start;
			res[r].end = mem_base->start +
				cell->resources[r].end;
		} else if (cell->resources[r].flags & IORESOURCE_IRQ) {
			res[r].start = irq_base +           //每个cell中的irq都要加上irq_base。
				cell->resources[r].start;
			res[r].end   = irq_base +
				cell->resources[r].end;
		} else {
			res[r].parent = cell->resources[r].parent;
			res[r].start = cell->resources[r].start;
			res[r].end   = cell->resources[r].end;
		}

		if (!cell->ignore_resource_conflicts) {
			ret = acpi_check_resource_conflict(&res[r]);
			if (ret)
				goto fail_res;
		}
	}

	ret = platform_device_add_resources(pdev, res, cell->num_resources);//将多个res赋给pdev
	if (ret)
		goto fail_res;

	ret = platform_device_add(pdev); //添加一个platform_device到系统，这时在dev的驱动中会使用这些res数据。
	if (ret)
		goto fail_res;

	if (cell->pm_runtime_no_callbacks)
		pm_runtime_no_callbacks(&pdev->dev);

	kfree(res);

	return 0;

fail_res:
	kfree(res);
fail_device:
	platform_device_put(pdev);
fail_alloc:
	return ret;
