cs5535: deprecate older cs5535_gpio driver
The newer drivers/gpio/cs5535-gpio.c replaces drivers/misc/cs5535_gpio.c. The new driver has been in the tree for a little while, and has received some testing; it's time to mark the old one as deprecated. I'm thinking removal around 2.6.40 would be good, provided we're not missing critical functionality in the newer driver.

+What: CS5535/CS5536 obsolete GPIO driver
+When: June 2011
+Files: drivers/staging/cs5535_gpio/*
+Check: drivers/staging/cs5535_gpio/cs5535_gpio.c
+Why: A newer driver replaces this; it is drivers/gpio/cs5535-gpio.c, and
+ integrates with the Linux GPIO subsystem. The old driver has been
+ moved to staging, and will be removed altogether around 2.6.40.
+ Please test the new driver, and ensure that the functionality you
+ need and any bugfixes from the old driver are available in the new
+ one.
