Okay, thanks.

The error above is referring to properties and sub-nodes of your
nxp,pca9557 compatible node, rather than the name of the node itself.
That said, node names are preferred to be generic (e.g. gpio@) rather
than specific.

It depends on what you're trying to achieve. At v6.17-rc1 no other
devicetree in the kernel defines an nxp,pca9557 node as you have here
with gpio@ subnodes, and neither does the gpio-pca95xx.yaml binding
allow them. What caused you to add them?

I expect what you need to do is remove those sub-nodes, along with
#address-cells and #size-cells.
