The whole thing is a bit more complicated - I'm trying to figure out
the code behind it, but the first expander has four parents whose
driver == pca953x, while the second has five of them. There is no
device name, but kobj->name corresponds with the i2c device
sub-directories on correct addresses and busses (1-0021 for the first
one and 4-0020 for the second on my board).

With both devices having pca953x parents I still can't tell one from
another. Still working on it.

Thanks,
