[i2c] [PATCH] i2c: Delete outdated x1205 driver documentation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modified since then, so just delete the outdated documentation.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
-explicitly 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
