pca953x: lockdep warning since 4.10

[Clemens Gruber]

Hi,

I observed the following lockdep warning when booting an i.MX6Q board
with several PCAL9555A gpio expanders connected over I2C. They are
connected to 3 separate busses, there is no i2c-mux in use.

This warning appears with the latest mainline Linux kernel 4.10-rc2:

Is this a false positive?
