i2c/chips: Remove deprecated pcf8575 driver 


The pcf8575 driver in drivers/i2c/chips which just exports its register to
sysfs is superseded by drivers/gpio/pcf857x.c which properly uses the gpiolib.
As this driver has been deprecated for more than a year, finally remove it.

About the PCF8575 chip and the pcf8575 kernel driver
====================================================
The PCF8575 chip is produced by the following manufacturers:
* Philips NXP
http://www.nxp.com/#/pip/cb=[type=product,path=50807/41735/41850,final=PCF8575_3]|pip=[pip=PCF8575_3][0]
* Texas Instruments
http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/pcf8575.html
Some vendors sell small PCB's with the PCF8575 mounted on it. You can connect
such a board to a Linux host via e.g. an USB to I2C interface. Examples of
PCB boards with a PCF8575:
* SFE Breakout Board for PCF8575 I2C Expander by RobotShop
http://www.robotshop.ca/home/products/robot-parts/electronics/adapters-converters/sfe-pcf8575-i2c-expander-board.html
* Breakout Board for PCF8575 I2C Expander by Spark Fun Electronics
http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8130
Description
-----------
The PCF8575 chip is a 16-bit I/O expander for the I2C bus. Up to eight of
these chips can be connected to the same I2C bus. You can find this
chip on some custom designed hardware, but you won't find it on PC
motherboards.
The PCF8575 chip consists of a 16-bit quasi-bidirectional port and an I2C-bus
interface. Each of the sixteen I/O's can be independently used as an input or
an output. To set up an I/O pin as an input, you have to write a 1 to the
corresponding output.
For more information please see the datasheet.
Detection
---------
There is no method known to detect whether a chip on a given I2C address is
a PCF8575 or whether it is any other I2C device, so you have to pass the I2C
bus and address of the installed PCF8575 devices explicitly to the driver at
load time via the force=... parameter.
/sys interface
--------------
For each address on which a PCF8575 chip was found or forced the following
files will be created under /sys:
* /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<bus>-<address>/read
* /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<bus>-<address>/write
where bus is the I2C bus number (0, 1, ...) and address is the four-digit
hexadecimal representation of the 7-bit I2C address of the PCF8575
(0020 .. 0027).
The read file is read-only. Reading it will trigger an I2C read and will hence
report the current input state for the pins configured as inputs, and the
current output value for the pins configured as outputs.
The write file is read-write. Writing a value to it will configure all pins
as output for which the corresponding bit is zero. Reading the write file will
return the value last written, or -EAGAIN if no value has yet been written to
the write file.
On module initialization the configuration of the chip is not changed -- the
chip is left in the state it was already configured in through either power-up
or through previous I2C write actions.

If you say yes here you get support for Philips PCF8575 chip.
This chip is a 16-bit I/O expander for the I2C bus. Several other
chip manufacturers sell equivalent chips, e.g. Texas Instruments.
This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called pcf8575.
This driver is deprecated and will be dropped soon. Use
drivers/gpio/pcf857x.c instead.
