When using the following dts-file it improves, a bit:

I think I got the trick to define a name for the PCA-gpio-chip and 
reference it in the gpio-export section.
But it fails now with
[    1.640000] /gpio_export/poe_passthrough: could not get #gpio-cells for /i2c-gpio/pca9555 at 25
[    1.660000] ------------[ cut here ]------------

seems not to find the i2c-pca and it's gpios, as these modules are not 
compile into the kernel.

They will load during init.scripts.
I see following options:
- use the 03-gpio script in board.d
- compile the drivers into the kernel, but will this be done for all 
 mt7621-kernels?
