Hi!
IBM created an implementation of the PCA9552 on a PIC16F
microcontroller. Document the new compatible string for this device.
Is the implementation opensource?
Hi, no it is not.

Is it good idea to use nxp prefix for something that is
software-defined and not built by nxp?
Yea I suppose not...
Would ibm,pca9552 be better, or maybe even sw,pca9552 to indicate that
is not real hardware, but software emulation?
How about ibm,pca9552-sw? Someone suggested that just adding "sw" could
be a problem if another company does the same thing but it isn't compatible.
Thanks for taking a look!
