Here is my latest attempt (V2) of legacy board and SoC support removal
for Mackerel and sh7372. Both the ARM mach-shmobile code base and the
PINCTRL subsystem is affected.

Also get rid of the remaining ZBOOT MMC/SDHI code, documentation and
utility that has no user once sh7372 is gone.

The Cortex-A8 based sh7372 SoC is rather old and never went into mass
production anyway, so these patches that remove SoC and board support
will only affect a few selected developers.

I wish we had some way to make use of the ZBOOT MMC/SDHI code, but
without any board or SoC code it makes little sense to keep it.

Thanks to Laurent and Geert for review!
