When I look at the data sheet for PCF8575[1] Page 7, Figure 4 Write
mode (output)
I see the data writes are of the order:
I2c 1's byte: address
I2c 2'nd byte:P[7-0]
I2c 3rd byte:P[17-10]
Note: bits 8,9 are missing not supported.

Now [2] claims that it does support PCF8575, however when I look at
line 143[3]
	unsigned	bit = 1 << offset;
[snip]
	if (value)
		gpio->out |= bit;
	else
		gpio->out &= ~bit;

There is no handling for the skip needed for bits 8 and 9.. Seems to
me like a driver bug.
