Yes, the DT files should reflect h/w.  I have requested to see what
the memory map looks like, so I might provide a more appropriate
solution to accepting a pretty pointless MFD.

Two solutions spring to mind.  You can either call
of_platform_populate() from the USB driver, as some already do:

  drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-exynos.c:
    ret = of_platform_populate(node, NULL, NULL, dev);
  drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-keystone.c:
    error = of_platform_populate(node, NULL, NULL, dev);
  drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-omap.c:
    ret = of_platform_populate(node, NULL, NULL, dev);
  drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c:
    ret = of_platform_populate(node, NULL, NULL, qdwc->dev);
  drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-st.c:
    ret = of_platform_populate(node, NULL, NULL, dev);
  drivers/usb/musb/musb_am335x.c:
    ret = of_platform_populate(pdev->dev.of_node, NULL, NULL, &pdev->dev);

Or use the "simple-mfd", which is currently in -next:

  git show next/master:Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/mfd.txt
