Because there is now no real MFD driver anymore, there is also
no symbol for that. The closest would be ARCH_ARM64 but I don't
think that is a good idea.

Lee, what do you think about adding a symbol to the MFD, which
selects MFD_SIMPLE_MFD_I2C but doesn't enable any C modules?

I.e.
config MFD_SL28CPLD
tristate "Kontron sl28cpld"
select MFD_SIMPLE_MFD_I2C
help
Say yes here to add support for the Kontron sl28cpld board
management controller.

Then all the other device driver could depend on the MFD_SL28CPLD
symbol.

Mh, the hardware guarantees that bit7 is zero. So masking with
SL28CPLD_PWM_CYCLE_MAX won't buy us much. But what I could think
could go wrong is this: someone set the prescaler to != 0 and the
duty cycle to a value greater than the max value for this particular
prescaler mode. For the above calculations this would result in a
duty_cycle greater than the period, if I'm not mistaken.

The behavior of the hardware is undefined in that case (at the moment
it will be always on, I guess). So this isn't a valid setting.
Nevertheless it might happen. So what about the following:

state->duty_cycle = min(state->duty_cycle, state->period);
