   { .compatible = "nxp,pca9554", .data = OF_953X( 8, PCA_INT), },   
      
   From looking at the source, I think it should be supported by the existing   
   module. kernelconfig has the same info:   
      
   -> PCA95[357]x, PCA9698, TCA64xx, and MAX7310 I/O ports

   Yeah, sure, but why bother if the driver is already there?
