I think your patch is cleaner and more descriptive. The only thing which 
I am not clear about in your patch is the extra work done in getting 
ngpio, that should be available in i2c_device_id pointer argument in 
probe(id points to the array pcf857x_id already available in the driver 
with the number of gpios for each chip variant).
