[PATCH 11/15] ARM: PXA: deprecate remaining board file support

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

In the 2021 board file removal, the gumstix and sharpsl
support was left around in order to make it easier to convert
more of the PXA platform to device tree, given that both
platforms had some level of support in qemu.

As far as I can tell, nobody has worked on additional DT
conversion in that time, and qemu has in turn deprecated
the entire PXA platform.

Schedule the remaining board files for removal now, as they
are unlikely to be of any help in the future. If anyone
wants to revive support for these machines, they can
obviously still contribute device tree based code and
work on updating the corresponding drivers.

Any drivers that are only usable on legacy PXA board files
can also get removed along with the boards, or saved by
adding devicetree support.
