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sysfs is superseded by drivers/gpio/pca953x.c which properly uses the gpiolib.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.

17 | Description | ||
18 | ----------- | ||
19 | |||
20 | The Philips PCA9539 is a 16 bit low power I/O device. | ||
21 | All 16 lines can be individually configured as an input or output. | ||
22 | The input sense can also be inverted. | ||
23 | The 16 lines are split between two bytes. | ||
24 | |||
25 | |||
26 | Detection | ||
27 | --------- | ||
28 | |||
29 | The PCA9539 is difficult to detect and not commonly found in PC machines, | ||
30 | so you have to pass the I2C bus and address of the installed PCA9539 | ||
31 | devices explicitly to the driver at load time via the force=... parameter. | ||
32 | |||
33 | |||
34 | Sysfs entries | ||
35 | ------------- | ||
36 | |||
37 | Each is a byte that maps to the 8 I/O bits. | ||
38 | A '0' suffix is for bits 0-7, while '1' is for bits 8-15. | ||
39 | |||
40 | input[01] - read the current value | ||
41 | output[01] - sets the output value | ||
42 | direction[01] - direction of each bit: 1=input, 0=output | ||
43 | invert[01] - toggle the input bit sense | ||
44 | |||
45 | input reads the actual state of the line and is always available. | ||
46 | The direction defaults to input for all channels. | ||
47 | |||
48 | |||
49 | General Remarks | ||
50 | --------------- | ||
51 | |||
52 | Note that each output, direction, and invert entry controls 8 lines. | ||
53 | You should use the read, modify, write sequence. | ||
54 | For example. to set output bit 0 of 1. | ||
55 | val=$(cat output0) | ||
56 | val=$(( $val | 1 )) | ||
57 | echo $val > output0 | ||
