Remove legacy-of-mm-gpiochip.h header file. The above mentioned
file provides an OF API that's deprecated. There is no agnostic
alternatives to it and we have to open code the logic which was
hidden behind of_mm_gpiochip_add_data(). Note, most of the GPIO
drivers are using their own labeling schemas and resource retrieval
that only a few may gain of the code deduplication, so whenever
alternative is appear we can move drivers again to use that one.

As a side effect this change fixes a potential memory leak on
an error path, if of_mm_gpiochip_add_data() fails.

Thanks, what's next?
Next step is that Michael or Madhavan apply it I guess ?
Folks, do you have any comments? Can you apply this and we move forward towards
removing the legacy API from the kernel?
If you have some work which depends on this patch, you can also take it 
together with that work through another tree. Just let us know.
