Subject: [patch 2.6.25-rc4] gpio/pca953x bugfix: mark as can_sleep

The pca953x driver is an I2C driver so gpio_chip->can_sleep should be set.
This lets upper layers know they should use the gpio_*_cansleep() calls
to access values, and may not access them from nonsleeping contexts.

Merge before 2.6.25-final, please.  This will for example prevent
leds-gpio from issuing blocking I2C calls from timer/irq contexts.
