[PATCH 2/2] x86/platform/geode: reference the real node of the cs5535 GPIO controller

From: Bartosz Golaszewski

Date: Wed Apr 29 2026 - 08:24:51 EST


We now can access the address of the software node associated with the
GPIO controller cell of the cs5535 MFD device. Make it the target of the
GPIO software node references in geode-common.c. Make sure the cs5535
driver is built-in for all boards selecting GEODE_COMMON.
