Please quote strings:

- compatible: should contain "nxp,tda8026"

It's probably worth mentioning at the start that this is an i2c device.

Why do this? The of_device_id table contains one entry with no
additional data. If you just want to see if this was probed via DT,
dev->of_node not being NULL would tell you that.

Is this going to be used without DT anywhere?

This is horrible. If the gpio controller can act as an irq controller
then it should be annotated as such, with #interrupt-cells, and you
should just describe the interrupt. The smart card controller cares
about having an interrupt line, not a GPIO.

Additionally, this was not described in the binding.

Thanks,
Mark.
