Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell <kevink@paralogos.com> is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.
Based on Markos Chandras <Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com> patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

The PMC MSP71XX gpio drivers were added in v2.6.28, see commit
9fa32c6b02 ("MIPS: PMC MSP71XX gpio drivers"). They are only built if
CONFIG_HAVE_GPIO_LIB is set.
But the Kconfig symbol HAVE_GPIO_LIB was already removed in v2.6.27, see
commit 7444a72eff ("gpiolib: allow user-selection"). So these drivers
were never buildable. Perhaps no-one noticed because there are no in
tree users of msp71xx_init_gpio() and msp71xx_init_gpio_extended().
Anyhow, these drivers can safely be removed.

Now that Yosemite's gone we can move the MSP71xx code one level up.
