mfd: smsc-ece1099: Remove driver
This MFD driver has no user. The keypad driver of this device never made it into the kernel. Therefore, this driver is useless. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Michael Walle <michael@walle.cc> Cc: Sourav Poddar <sourav.poddar@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>

-=================================================
-Msc Keyboard Scan Expansion/GPIO Expansion device
-=================================================
-
-What is smsc-ece1099?
-----------------------
-
-The ECE1099 is a 40-Pin 3.3V Keyboard Scan Expansion
-or GPIO Expansion device. The device supports a keyboard
-scan matrix of 23x8. The device is connected to a Master
-via the SMSC BC-Link interface or via the SMBus.
-Keypad scan Input(KSI) and Keypad Scan Output(KSO) signals
-are multiplexed with GPIOs.
-
-Interrupt generation
---------------------
-
-Interrupts can be generated by an edge detection on a GPIO
-pin or an edge detection on one of the bus interface pins.
-Interrupts can also be detected on the keyboard scan interface.
-The bus interrupt pin (BC_INT# or SMBUS_INT#) is asserted if
-any bit in one of the Interrupt Status registers is 1 and
-the corresponding Interrupt Mask bit is also 1.
-
-In order for software to determine which device is the source
-of an interrupt, it should first read the Group Interrupt Status Register
-to determine which Status register group is a source for the interrupt.
-Software should read both the Status register and the associated Mask register,
-then AND the two values together. Bits that are 1 in the result of the AND
-are active interrupts. Software clears an interrupt by writing a 1 to the
-corresponding bit in the Status register.
-
-Communication Protocol
-----------------------
-
-- SMbus slave Interface
- The host processor communicates with the ECE1099 device
- through a series of read/write registers via the SMBus
- interface. SMBus is a serial communication protocol between
- a computer host and its peripheral devices. The SMBus data
- rate is 10KHz minimum to 400 KHz maximum
-
-- Slave Bus Interface
- The ECE1099 device SMBus implementation is a subset of the
- SMBus interface to the host. The device is a slave-only SMBus device.
- The implementation in the device is a subset of SMBus since it
- only supports four protocols.
-
- The Write Byte, Read Byte, Send Byte, and Receive Byte protocols are the
- only valid SMBus protocols for the device.
-
-- BC-LinkTM Interface
- The BC-Link is a proprietary bus that allows communication
- between a Master device and a Companion device. The Master
- device uses this serial bus to read and write registers
- located on the Companion device. The bus comprises three signals,
- BC_CLK, BC_DAT and BC_INT#. The Master device always provides the
- clock, BC_CLK, and the Companion device is the source for an
- independent asynchronous interrupt signal, BC_INT#. The ECE1099
- supports BC-Link speeds up to 24MHz.
