+ Say Y here to add a sysfs interface for GPIOs.
+
+ This is mostly useful to work around omissions in a system's
+ kernel support. Those are common in custom and semicustom
+ hardware assembled using standard kernels with a minimum of
+ custom patches. In those cases, userspace code may import
+ a given GPIO from the kernel, if no kernel driver requested it.
+
+ Kernel drivers may also request that a particular GPIO be
+ exported to userspace; this can be useful when debugging.

This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called pca953x.

Say yes here to provide access to most "quasi-bidirectional" I2C
some of them. Compatible models include:
8 bits: pcf8574, pcf8574a, pca8574, pca8574a,

16 bits: pcf8575, pcf8575c, pca8575,
pca9671, pca9673, pca9675
This driver provides an in-kernel interface to those GPIOs using
platform-neutral GPIO calls.
