i2c: Delete outdated x1205 driver documentation 



The x1205 driver moved to the RTC subsystem and was significantly
modified since then, so just delete the outdated documentation.

Description

-----------



This module aims to provide complete access to the Xicor X1205 RTC.

Recently Xicor has merged with Intersil, but the chip is

still sold under the Xicor brand.



This chip is located at address 0x6f and uses a 2-byte register addressing.

Two bytes need to be written to read a single register, while most

other chips just require one and take the second one as the data

to be written. To prevent corrupting unknown chips, the user must

explicitely set the probe parameter.



example:



modprobe x1205 probe=0,0x6f



The module supports one more option, hctosys, which is used to set the

software clock from the x1205. On systems where the x1205 is the

only hardware rtc, this parameter could be used to achieve a correct

date/time earlier in the system boot sequence.



example:



modprobe x1205 probe=0,0x6f hctosys=1
