I had already sent a better patch for this earlier, see "mfd: max8925:
fix trivial build warning for non-dt". Unfortunately when I looked into
the problem again, I found more problems with the original patches,
apparently the DT bindings were never properly reviewed. It may be
better to revert the original patch for 3.9 and do it better for 3.10.
