Removing GPIO lib and all dependents #425

Closed roscopeco closed 5 months ago

roscopeco commented 5 months ago

This will fix #392 , but kinda does it via "nuclear option".

Willing to discuss what's being removed here, or whether we should take an alternative approach....

We can always come back and resurrect these files from Git if a better GPIO system is implemented.

It may also make sense to add notes to the firmware Interface Reference deprecating the system-use GPIO flags in the SDB (at least for the non-LED pins). Moving from MFP to DUART it's gotten clunky given that the bits have shifted around, and it's only currently respected everywhere for the LEDs, not for SPI. If those changes are made I'm happy to re-approve.

Good call @0xTJ , made some doc changes :)
