+config GPIO_PCF857X
+	tristate "PCF857x, PCA857x, and PCA967x I2C GPIO expanders"
+	depends on I2C
+	help
+	  Say yes here to provide access to most "quasi-bidirectional" I2C
+	  GPIO expanders used for additional digital outputs or inputs.
+	  Most of these parts are from NXP, though TI is a second source for
+	  some of them.  Compatible models include:
+
+	  8 bits:   pcf8574, pcf8574a, pca8574, pca8574a,
+	            pca9670, pca9672, pca9674, pca9674a
+
+	  16 bits:  pcf8575, pcf8575c, pca8575,
+	            pca9671, pca9673, pca9675
+
+	  Your board setup code will need to declare the expanders in
+	  use, and assign numbers to the GPIOs they expose.  Those GPIOs
+	  can then be used from drivers and other kernel code, just like
+	  other GPIOs, but only accessible from task contexts.
+
+	  This driver provides an in-kernel interface to those GPIOs using
+	  platform-neutral GPIO calls.

+ * a bit like one.  This is described as "quasi-bidirectional"; read the
+ * chip documentation for details.
+ *

+ * more complex register models and more conventional circuitry using
