Subject: gpio: pca953x: Use correct u16 value for register word write

From: Yong Li <[email protected]>

commit 9b8e3ec34318663affced3c14d960e78d760dd9a upstream.

The current implementation only uses the first byte in val, the second byte is always 0. Change it to use cpu_to_le16 to write the two bytes into the register
