mfd: remove unused wm8350 driver

This commit removes the wm8350 driver entirely, as it relied on platform
data probing for development boards that have been dropped from the kernel.
It removes the core driver along with its hwmon, gpio, led, power,
regulator, rtc, watchdog, and sound codec components.

[Severity: Low]
Since the wm8350 driver is being completely removed here, should we also
update the documentation files that still reference it as a working example? 

Currently, there are a few places left behind that point developers to the
removed driver code. For instance, in Documentation/scheduler/completion.rst
referencing wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout:

    why (e.g. see drivers/mfd/wm8350-core.c wm8350_read_auxadc())::

And its Chinese translation in
Documentation/translations/zh_CN/scheduler/completion.rst:

    （例如，见drivers/mfd/wm8350-core.c wm8350_read_auxadc()::

Additionally, Documentation/sound/soc/jack.rst points to the removed codec:

    CODEC integrated jack detection can be see in the WM8350 driver.

Would it make sense to update these documents to point to a different,
active driver as an example to avoid confusing developers who might try
to look up the removed files?
