i2c/chips: Remove deprecated pca9539 driver
The pca9539 driver in drivers/i2c/chips which just exports its registers to sysfs is superseded by drivers/gpio/pca953x.c which properly uses the gpiolib. As this driver has been deprecated for more than a year, finally remove it.

Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The Philips PCA9539 is a 16 bit low power I/O device.
|
||||
All 16 lines can be individually configured as an input or output.
|
||||
The input sense can also be inverted.
|
||||
The 16 lines are split between two bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Detection
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
The PCA9539 is difficult to detect and not commonly found in PC machines,
|
||||
so you have to pass the I2C bus and address of the installed PCA9539
|
||||
devices explicitly to the driver at load time via the force=... parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Sysfs entries
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Each is a byte that maps to the 8 I/O bits.
|
||||
A '0' suffix is for bits 0-7, while '1' is for bits 8-15.
|
||||
|
||||
input[01] - read the current value
|
||||
output[01] - sets the output value
|
||||
direction[01] - direction of each bit: 1=input, 0=output
|
||||
invert[01] - toggle the input bit sense
|
||||
|
||||
input reads the actual state of the line and is always available.
|
||||
The direction defaults to input for all channels.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
General Remarks
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
Note that each output, direction, and invert entry controls 8 lines.
|
||||
You should use the read, modify, write sequence.
|
||||
For example. to set output bit 0 of 1.
|
||||
val=$(cat output0)
|
||||
val=$(( $val | 1 ))
|
||||
echo $val > output0
