gpio: TODO: remove the item about the new debugfs interface

The consensus among core GPIO stakeholders seems to be that a new
debugfs interface will only increase maintenance burden and will fail
to attract users that care about long-term stability of the ABI[1].
Let's not go this way and not add a fourth user-facing interface to the
GPIO subsystem.

-Debugfs in place of sysfs
-
-The old sysfs code that enables simple uses of GPIOs from the
-command line is still popular despite the existance of the proper
-character device. The reason is that it is simple to use on
-root filesystems where you only have a minimal set of tools such
-as "cat", "echo" etc.
-
-The old sysfs still need to be strongly deprecated and removed
-as it relies on the global GPIO numberspace that assume a strict
-order of global GPIO numbers that do not change between boots
-and is independent of probe order.
-
-To solve this and provide an ABI that people can use for hacks
-and development, implement a debugfs interface to manipulate
-GPIO lines that can do everything that sysfs can do today: one
-directory per gpiochip and one file entry per line:
-
-/sys/kernel/debug/gpiochip/gpiochip0
-/sys/kernel/debug/gpiochip/gpiochip0/gpio0
-/sys/kernel/debug/gpiochip/gpiochip0/gpio1
-/sys/kernel/debug/gpiochip/gpiochip0/gpio2
-/sys/kernel/debug/gpiochip/gpiochip0/gpio3
-...
-/sys/kernel/debug/gpiochip/gpiochip1
-/sys/kernel/debug/gpiochip/gpiochip1/gpio0
-/sys/kernel/debug/gpiochip/gpiochip1/gpio1
-...
-
-The exact files and design of the debugfs interface can be
-discussed but the idea is to provide a low-level access point
-for debugging and hacking and to expose all lines without the
-need of any exporting. Also provide ample ammunition to shoot
-oneself in the foot, because this is debugfs after all.
