It's valid to use the PCA955x devices just for GPIOs and not for LEDs. In this case, as PCA955X_TYPE_GPIO is now equivalent to PCA955X_TYPE_NONE, remove the test for whether we have any child nodes specified in the devicetree. A consequence of this is it's now possible to bind the driver to a PCA955x device when dynamically instantiated through the I2C subsystem's `new_device` interface.
