PCA953X is a GPIO expander that is relied on I2C bus. It's a device in
the cirucit,
not in the PXA chips. So there's no cpu related code in this driver.

Gregory's concern is that he found that this device is used on pxa27x
platform, and
he don't have the hardware to test. I also don't have pxa27x platform.
I think that
he can ping the volunteers in the mailing list.
