https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/gpio/gpio-pca953x.c

{ .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

8 bits: max7310, max7315, pca6107, pca9534, pca9538, pca9554,
pca9556, pca9557, pca9574, tca6408, tca9554, xra1202

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