The SPMI GPIO driver assumes that the parent device is an SPMI device
and accesses random data when backcasting the parent struct device
pointer for non-SPMI devices.

Fortunately this does not seem to cause any issues currently when the
parent device is an I2C client like the PM8008, but this could change if
the structures are reorganised (e.g. using structure randomisation).

Notably the interrupt implementation is also broken for non-SPMI devices.

Also note that the two GPIO pins on PM8008 are used for interrupts and
reset so their practical use should be limited.

Drop the broken GPIO support for PM8008 for now.

Since there are no upstream dtsi users there's no harm in dropping and 
re-adding when i2c can be taken account of.

Yes, I guess so, unless it's easier to let everything go through MFD
(except possibly the regulator driver).

I'll be posting a v2 in a bit and include these two there too. You can
either pick them there or ack them as you prefer.

As I mentioned in the commit message, the driver is backcasting a
pointer to an incorrect type, which could lead to all sorts of trouble
even if it does not seem to be the case currently (I did not check 5.13
for example).

Since it has always been broken, I'd rather err on the safe side and
just drop it also from the stable trees.
