drivers/gpio/pca953x.c doesn't register itself with the
OF GPIO infrastructure (plus the driver has an absolutely
bogus linux,gpio-base stuff, heh).

As an example of how to do the OF GPIO properly, see
arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/mcu_mpc8349emitx.c:mcu_gpiochip_add().

Though, soon there will be an easier way to register I2C/SPI chips
with the OF GPIO infrastructure.

Thanks,
