[PATCH] gpio: remove legacy GPIO line value setter callbacks

[PATCH] gpio: remove legacy GPIO line value setter callbacks

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

With no more users of the legacy GPIO line value setters - .set() and
.set_multiple() - we can now remove them from the kernel.

Note that this patch may trigger build bot error reports as it's not
valid until all GPIO drivers are converted upstream treewide.I intend to
wait until all relevant trees are upstream and then send this patch on
top during the upcoming merge window.

I have a second patch[1] that I will probably send directly to Torvalds
as it's almost 4000 lines of diff. It renames the callbacks back to their
original names.
