Will change to enum in next version.

     enum:
       - ampere,smpro

The intention was to re-use the drivers/mfd/simple-mfd-i2c.c and dont 
want to add extra codes to this driver just to instantiate these 
children. So for this case, the child drivers will not be instantiated 
if there are no child nodes in DT.

One solution I have in mind is to introduce resource (reg offset) for 
each child drivers.
