To prepare moving the GPIO driver to drivers/gpio remove the
platform specific pinmux API. As it is not used by any board,
and such functionality should better be implemented using the
pinmux subsystem just removing it seems to be the best option.

For reference: OpenWRT uses this functions to activate UART.

OpenWRT is wholeheartedly and warmly welcome to work upstream,
I will help whenever I can.

I have seen their patch stack and it makes me sad :(
