so you want to have gpio-reset probed at arch_initcall time and you have
gpio-pca953x probed at subsys_initcall time. Won't then all gpio-reset
devices that use gpios on pca953x to reset other peripherals need to be
deferred?

Yes, they will be deferred, but they will be probed and ready at
subsys_initcall time when gpio-pca953x probes.  This is still good since
most of component device drivers probes at module_init time.
