you are right, this one looked bogus.

I just tested with NULL as base and it seems to produce no harm. Even
if we may get rid of mfd_add_devices in the future, passing NULL is
cleaner for now and no children will ever make use of it. So please send
a new version with this change.

Otherwise, thanks for looking and cleaning up.
