I was about to fix the issues you have pointed but I didn't find anything like

#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_PXA
        if (cpu_is_pxa25x()) {
#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_PXA26x
                count = 89;
                gpio_type = PXA26X_GPIO;
#elif defined(CONFIG_PXA25x)


in the pca953x driver! I think you messed up with another patch set!

I saw that Haojian Zhuang have sent a patch set for gpio-pxa and
among this set the patch "[PATCH 06/10] gpio: pxa: define nr gpios
in platform data" seemed to exactly what you've expected.
