Multi Function Devices may carry essential functions on arm/arm64
platforms. For example in 96boards HiKey mfd/hi655x-pmic has regulators,
causing MMC driver init fail.  when generating generic initrd on offline
with MODULES=most, update-initramfs doesn't pick mfd modules.

Since mfd is quite small (284K on arm64), just add them all to most. This
may also open the road to make some currently built-in CONFIG_MFD
drivers modules.
