Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] ida: Remove the ida_simple_xxx() API

This is the final steps to remove the ida_simple_xxx() API.

This serie was last proposed in August 2024. Since then, some users
of the old API have be re-introduced and then removed.

A first time in drivers/misc/rpmb-core.c, added in commit 1e9046e3a154
("rpmb: add Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) subsystem") (2024-08-26)
and removed in commit dfc881abca42 ("rpmb: Remove usage of the
deprecated ida_simple_xx() API") (2024-10-13).

A second time in drivers/gpio/gpio-mpsse.c, added in commit c46a74ff05c0
("gpio: add support for FTDI's MPSSE as GPIO") (2024-10-14) and removed
in commit f57c08492866 (gpio: mpsse: Remove usage of the deprecated
ida_simple_xx() API) (2024-11-22).

Since then, I've not spotted any new usage.

So things being stable now, it's time to end this story once and for good.

Patch 1 updates the test suite. This is the last users of the API.

Patch 2 removes the old API.

Patch 3 is just a minor clean-up that still speak about the old API.
