Hi all,

This patch series converts the PCF857x-compatible I/O expanders Device
Tree binding documentation to json-schema, after fixing a few issues in
DTS files.

Thanks for your comments!

All DTS files use the "nxp,pcf8575" fallback, except for
arch/x86/platform/ce4100/falconfalls.dts.
The latter ain't working with Linux, as the Linux driver doesn't
match against "ti,pcf8575"...

if you leave it out:

Too late for an "nxp," prefix.
See the NOTE in drivers/gpio/gpio-pcf857x.c:

        /* NOTE:  these chips have strange "quasi-bidirectional" I/O pins.
         * We can't actually know whether a pin is configured (a) as output
         * and driving the signal low, or (b) as input and reporting a low
         * value ... without knowing the last value written since the chip
         * came out of reset (if any).  We can't read the latched output.
         *
         * In short, the only reliable solution for setting up pin direction
         * is to do it explicitly.  The setup() method can do that, but it
         * may cause transient glitching since it can't know the last value
         * written (some pins may need to be driven low).
         *
         * Using n_latch avoids that trouble.  When left initialized to zero,
         * our software copy of the "latch" then matches the chip's all-ones
         * reset state.  Otherwise it flags pins to be driven low.

If we leave this out, something still has to refer to it?
I see no other binding doing that...

Perhaps can it just be removed?

This one is a bit odd.

It's selected by 'gpio-hog' being present, but here you need to make 
sure that's the case.

And I would hope you could define the node name to be just 1 of the 2 
cases.

Correction: i2c_device_id-based matching ignores the vendor part
of the compatible value.  One day this is gonna bite us...

> Perhaps can it just be removed?

I think so.  All other users of similar I2C GPIO expanders just
use the compatible values of the original NXP parts.

OK. Fixed.

Yep, the latter is fine.
