No objections to the change, but I'd point out that while this is a
driver for gpio registers, it's not a gpiolib driver but rather a
custom chardev with ioctl interface.

Since the chip was never as popular as the separate geode/cs553x
ones, I wonder if there are any users left, maybe Jim has an idea.

If there are users, they might be able to use drivers/gpio/gpio-cs5535.c
instead, but I have not checked if the two are compatible.
