[PATCH] input: misc: delete MPU3050 driver

[Linus Walleij]

The MPU3050 driver in the input subsystem has been superceded
by a proper IIO driver found in drivers/iio/gyro/mpu3050*.

Patches have been submitted to remove all defconfig and related
references to the old driver and replace this input driver
with the IIO driver. commit 634b847b6d23
("x86/platform/intel-mid: Switch MPU3050 driver to IIO")
is already upstream.

So delete the input driver. Input was never a good fit for
sensors anyway.

The defconfig changes for the ARM systems utilizing this driver
are merged to the ARM SoC tree.

Dmitry can we just kill this driver? Noone seems to object and I
got an ACK from Heikki as you can see.

OK, since nobody yelled that they need it I applied the patch.

Thanks!

We need to think about the future of these misc input drivers:

misc/bma150.c
misc/cma3000*
misc/mma8450.c

The first has a partial (or maybe complete) support in
iio/accel/bma180.c and the last seems to be possible to be
supported by iio/accel/mma8452.c with some slight adjustments.

It's not only because I have OCD and want to sort every driver
in the right pigeon-hole... the iio-sensor-proxy GNOME daemon
bugzilla/github has been spamming me with complaints about
problems caused by the accelerometer-as-input drivers.
It would be nice to at least compartmentalize the problems
into one subsystem. Terminating misc/bma150.c has been
mentioned.

I we have replacements in drivers/iio I'd be happy to cut these out of
drivers/input.

Thanks.
