Done.

Done.

I normally try not to declare in the middle of the code but in this case
I opted for it because swnode is not known so we have to split
initialization.

That is an option but then spreads dealing with nodes across multiple
functions. I moved the declaration and partial initialization to the
beginning of the function, and assign swnode before calling
devm_mfd_add_devices().

Done.
