Subject: pca953x issue when driving a DSI bridge

Hello there !

I have a custom board, based on a i.MX8mm SoC which has a MIPI-DSI to 
eDP bridge (namely, a TI sn65dsi86). This bridge has a DSI enable pin, 
which is basically its reset pin, connected to my PCA9539 GPIO expander.

The issue is that this pin can't be sleeping, and it is tested in the 
gpiod_set_value() function.

Here is where it fails in my dmesg:

I suppose this is not a corner case and we may have other drivers and 
other boards connecting a GPIO which can sleep in a context where it 
should not ?

I would like to add one thing: on this board, the expander is routed in 
a way that makes it impossible to "sleep" as the reset is forced 
pulled-up and the power regulators are fixed and can't be stopped.

I don't know how to address this issue nicely and any thoughts is 
appreciated !

Thanks in advance !
