No. This is not about DA9061 or it's mfd_cell-entries at all. My
concern is about the general behaviour of the MFD-framework and how
mfd_cell entries with compatibles are initialized.

Imagine only required parts of the MFD is connected to the designed
system and unrequired parts are not. In that case, fully describing the
MFD in the devicetree wouldn't represent the system at all.

Actually it would make more sense to check if mfd_cell-entries with
compatibles are represented in the devicetree and add them after
matching. This way the warning would serve it's purpose. What do you
think of it?
