Subject: [PATCH 3/5] gpio: mockup: deprecate the old testing module

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@...aro.org>

We have a much better alternative to the clunky old gpio-mockup. Don't
remove it just yet (there are tests depending on it out there) but make
Kconfig say that it should no longer be used in new projects.
