I considered moving the documentation, but realized: 1st part is URLs for datasheets. Well, URLs easily grow outdated and those datasheets are easily to find using your favourite search engine. 2nd part is a short description of the chips which is IMHO sufficently cove= red in drivers/gpio/Kconfig. 3rd part (Detection) and 4th part (sysfs-interface) are obsolete for the new drivers. The gpiolib interface again is covered in Documentation/gpio.txt So I concluded to simply drop the documentation.
