This fixes a pca953x probe error on an imx8mp board running linux-stable 6.6:

[    1.893260] pca953x 2-0020: failed writing register
[    1.898258] pca953x 2-0020: probe with driver pca953x failed with error -11

Could you please add a Fixes tag and Cc stable so that this can reach
the stable kernels?
