It does not have corresponding driver subsystem, then I guess you.
Placing above bindings, whose drivers are  MFD, in the MFD subdirectory
made it obvious. Now it will be a bit less obvious, but that's the
drawback of organizing bindings per hardware, not per Linux subsystem.

Indeed, I'll move these as well.
