This kills off the platform data support from the bitbanged GPIO-based MDIO driver and moves it over to using GPIO descriptors exclusively.
We are certainly not going to merge any more platforms into the kernel using platform data, and nothing is using it at the moment. The only concern would be out-of-tree platforms, and those are not the concern of the kernel community. They need to move to use device tree (or ACPI etc) like everyone else. This was tested on the bit-banged GPIO MDIO on the D-Link DNS-313 and works fine for me.
