This change appears to have introduced a build failure for me on arm64
(with GCC 9.4.0 from Ubuntu 20.04.02) - reverting b44759705f7d makes
these errors go away again:

I've not dug further since I don't have any interest in the pca953x
driver - it just happened to be enabled in my config, so for now I've
turned it off. However I couldn't obviously see any other reports of
this, so here it is.

Thanks,
Robin.
