Input: gpio_tilt - delete driver

This driver was merged in 2011 as a tool for detecting the orientation
of a screen. The device driver assumes board file setup using the
platform data from <linux/input/gpio_tilt.h>. But no boards in the
kernel tree defines this platform data.

As I am faced with refactoring drivers to use GPIO descriptors and
pass decriptor tables from boards, or use the device tree device
drivers like these creates a serious problem: I cannot fix them and
cannot test them, not even compile-test them with a system actually
using it (no in-tree boardfile).

I suggest to delete this driver and rewrite it using device tree if
it is still in use on actively maintained systems.

I can also offer to rewrite it out of the blue using device tree if
someone promise to test it and help me iterate it.

-Driver for tilt-switches connected via GPIOs
-============================================
-
-Generic driver to read data from tilt switches connected via gpios.
-Orientation can be provided by one or more than one tilt switches,
-i.e. each tilt switch providing one axis, and the number of axes
-is also not limited.
-
-
-Data structures
----------------
-
-The array of struct gpio in the gpios field is used to list the gpios
-that represent the current tilt state.
-
-The array of struct gpio_tilt_axis describes the axes that are reported
-to the input system. The values set therein are used for the
-input_set_abs_params calls needed to init the axes.
-
-The array of struct gpio_tilt_state maps gpio states to the corresponding
-values to report. The gpio state is represented as a bitfield where the
-bit-index corresponds to the index of the gpio in the struct gpio array.
-In the same manner the values stored in the axes array correspond to
-the elements of the gpio_tilt_axis-array.
-
-
-Example
--------
-
-Example configuration for a single TS1003 tilt switch that rotates around
-one axis in 4 steps and emits the current tilt via two GPIOs::
