[PATCH] i2c: Suggest N for rare devices in Kconfig 

Improve the Kconfig help text of the follwing i2c drivers:
* busses/i2c-pca-isa.c
* chips/pcf8574.c
* chips/pcf8591.c
These are hard to detect and building them into the kernel
results in long delays at boot.

This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called i2c-pca-isa.
This device is almost undetectable and using this driver on a
system which doesn't have this device will result in long
delays when I2C/SMBus chip drivers are loaded (e.g. at boot
time). If unsure, say N.
