Since commit d6df7df7ae5a0 ("ARM: pxa: remove unused board files"), there
has been no in-tree user of the AK4641 codec driver. The last user
(HP iPAQ hx4700) was a non-DT PXA board file that instantiated the device
via I2C board data; that code was removed as part of the PXA board-file
purge.
The AK4641 driver was introduced ~2011 and still probes only via the I2C
device-ID table ('.id_table'), without an 'of_match_table', so there are
no upstream Devicetree users to retain. With no in-tree users left, remove
the driver.
