Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Drop BU27008 and BU27010

Drop the support for ROHM BD72008 and BD72010 RGB sensors

I accidentally hit a BU27008 data-sheet which had a big red text saying
"Obsolete". After a few queries I received a word that the ROHM BU27008
and BU27010 RGB sensors were cancelled and never entered mass production.
Supporting not existing hardware makes no sense, so it's probably best
to drop the drivers and dt-bindings.

There is still a RGB sensor from ROHM called BU27006.
https://www.rohm.com/products/sensors-mems/color-sensor-ics/bu27006muc-z-product
Based on a quick glance this should be very similar to the BU27010. If
someone wants to create a driver for this, then the bu27008.c might be
worth looking at.

As writing of this I don't have the BU27006 at my hands, and when I
asked about creating a driver for this IC from the HQ ... I got an
impression that at the moment ROHM rather pays me for doing something
else. So, currently I have no plan to add support for the BD27006.
We can always dig the bu27008.c from the depths of the git, if it later
appears such a driver would be a good idea.
