I really don't know what exactly is going on here, you can check it later, but I'm 100% sure that MFD works for only driver that are present. What you are describing is how component framework is designed. To proove my words you can check drivers/mfd/intel_soc_pmic_*.c and find listed cells that never had a driver in the Linux kernel.
