Last time, I said "We'll need to discuss the migration plan - we don't
want to maintain two drivers for the same thing".

Back in February, Andres sent out a patch "cs553x-gpio: add AMD
CS5535/CS5536 GPIO driver support".  AFACIT that patch does the same
thing that this one does, but differently.  IIRC it had a great string
of weird-Kconfig-related build errors and I eventually dropped it.

What's the story here?

Thanks.
