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sysfs is superseded by drivers/gpio/pcf857x.c which properly uses the gpiolib.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:

-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.
