Removing duplicate drivers from chips?

Removing duplicate drivers from chips?

Hi Jean,

I am thinking about cleaning up the 'chips'-directory further by removing the
duplicate pca/pcf-drivers. Those are marked as deprecated for more than a year
now. Remembering the defconfig-discussion when we moved out the eeprom drivers,
I think it is best to not touch the defconfigs but inform the arch-maintainers
about the removal of these drivers, so they can handle whatever is necessary.
Are you okay with this approach or do you think we should keep the drivers a
little longer?

Regards,

   Wolfram

I am totally fine with removing these drivers from linux-next right
now. Then depending on the feedback, from upstream in either 2.6.32 or
2.6.33.
