And the GPIO Maintainer accepted this, despite it not being the same
as every other GPIO driver?
Ah, there is no Acked-by: from anybody i recognise as a GPIO
maintainer. Was it even reviewed by GPIO people? And why is it hiding
in driver/misc? I don't see any reason it cannot be in drivers/gpio,
which is where i looked for it. There are other auxiliary_driver in
drivers/gpio.

Unfortunately, i have to agree, for the moment.
But it would be good to clean it up. I _think_ mchp_pci1xxxx_gpio.c
can be moved into driver/gpio, given the expected Kconfig symbol
GPIO_PCI1XXXX and depends on GP_PCI1XXXX. It would then also get
reviewed by the GPIO Maintainers, which you probably want.
