[RFC PATCH 9/9] iio: inkern: Drop io-channel-ranges dt property support

[Jonathan Cameron]

From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron at huawei.com>

This property has been almost exclusively missused in mainline and
we don't actually have any instances of it being necessary.

As such Rob Herring suggested we just drop it and I can't immediately
see any reason to disagree.

If anyone has an out of tree dts file that makes use of this then let
me know.  I'm not against keeping the code, but documenting it as a
deprecated property not to be used in new dts files.

Note build tested only. If someone could give it a sanity check
on a platform that uses this interface that would be great.
If not I'll mock something up before applying this.
