Add TODO files for mx2/mx3/omap1 to explain the status of these drivers
and what needs to be done in order to keep them from being removed soon.
Also a small fix for the mx2/Kconfig that mistakingly mentioned a vb2
conversion. That's not needed for that driver.

This is a v4l2 driver for the i.MX27 Camera Sensor Interface
- This driver is deprecated and will be removed soon unless someone
- will start the work to convert this driver to the vb2 framework
- and remove the soc-camera dependency.
+ This driver is deprecated: it should become a stand-alone driver
+ instead of using the soc-camera framework.
+
+ Unless someone is willing to take this on (unlikely with such
+ ancient hardware) it is going to be removed from the kernel
+ soon.
