Well, this mfd driver registers various devices as the pinctrl and the
reset driver. I think we want the pinctrl driver to always be
registered.
IMHO we want this driver to always be selected when using a Berlin SoC.

Is there a reason to add this header here?

All these devices share the same bank of registers and we previously
used a single node. But with many devices sharing a single node, this is
problematic to register all the devices from DT. Using this MFD driver
to do it is a proper solution in this case.
To provide a regmap to the devices' drivers we also use syscon on the
chip/system controller nodes.

"GPL" is a valid choice, quoting include/linux.module.h:
"GPL" [GNU Public License v2 or later]
"GPL v2" [GNU Public License v2]
Is there a reason you explicitly want to use GPLv2, and only GPLv2?
