If there's no SoC-specific HW, then the binding has nothing to do with
the SoC; it's entirely generic.

I think instead, you need to define a generic "gpio-usb-vid" binding
instead.

Otherwise, ever SoC that doesn't have explicit USB VID detection HW is
going to re-invent the exact same binding, with pointless differences,
rather than using a single generic binding.

So no, that rename doesn't sound correct.

In that case, the PCF8575 node needs to be a GPIO controller and an IRQ
controller, as does the driver for the PCF8575. This binding should have
a single entry in the gpios property, and the driver can call
gpio_to_irq() on that so it knows which IRQ to request.
