[PATCH 4/4] i2c/chips: Remove deprecated pcf8574-driver

Wolfram Sang w.sang at pengutronix.de
Wed Sep 9 17:22:51 EDT 2009


The pcf8574-driver in drivers/i2c/chips which just exports its register to
sysfs is superseeded by drivers/gpio/pcf857x.c which properly uses the gpiolib.
As this driver has been deprecated for more than a year, finally remove it.

-Description
------------
-The PCF8574(A) is an 8-bit I/O expander for the I2C bus produced by Philips
-Semiconductors. It is designed to provide a byte I2C interface to up to 16
-separate devices (8 x PCF8574 and 8 x PCF8574A).
-
-This device consists of a quasi-bidirectional port. Each of the eight I/Os
-can be independently used as an input or output. To setup an I/O as an
-input, you have to write a 1 to the corresponding output.
-
-For more informations see the datasheet.
-
-
-Accessing PCF8574(A) via /sys interface
--------------------------------------
-
-The PCF8574(A) is plainly impossible to detect ! Stupid chip.
-So, you have to pass the I2C bus and address of the installed PCF857A
-and PCF8574A devices explicitly to the driver at load time via the
-force=... parameter.
-
-On detection (i.e. insmod, modprobe et al.), directories are being
-created for each detected PCF8574(A):
-
-/sys/bus/i2c/devices/<0>-<1>/
-where <0> is the bus the chip was detected on (e. g. i2c-0)
-and <1> the chip address ([20..27] or [38..3f]):
-
-(example: /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0020/)
-
-Inside these directories, there are two files each:
-read and write (and one file with chip name).
-
-The read file is read-only. Reading gives you the current I/O input
-if the corresponding output is set as 1, otherwise the current output
-value, that is to say 0.
-
-The write file is read/write. Writing a value outputs it on the I/O
-port. Reading returns the last written value. As it is not possible
-to read this value from the chip, you need to write at least once to
-this file before you can read back from it.
