arch: remove blackfin port

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather
active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill
over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up.

Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant,
and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because
of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of
duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when
doing cross-architecture changes.

-1. Blackfin GPIO introduction
-
-    There are many GPIO pins on Blackfin. Most of these pins are muxed to
-    multi-functions. They can be configured as peripheral, or just as GPIO,
-    configured to input with interrupt enabled, or output.
-
-    For detailed information, please see "arch/blackfin/kernel/bfin_gpio.c",
-    or the relevant HRM.
-
-
-2. Avoiding resource conflict
-
-    Followed function groups are used to avoiding resource conflict,
-    - Use the pin as peripheral,
-	int peripheral_request(unsigned short per, const char *label);
-	int peripheral_request_list(const unsigned short per[], const char *label);
-	void peripheral_free(unsigned short per);
-	void peripheral_free_list(const unsigned short per[]);
-    - Use the pin as GPIO,
-	int bfin_gpio_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label);
-	void bfin_gpio_free(unsigned gpio);
-    - Use the pin as GPIO interrupt,
-	int bfin_gpio_irq_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label);
-	void bfin_gpio_irq_free(unsigned gpio);
-
-    The request functions will record the function state for a certain pin,
-    the free functions will clear its function state.
-    Once a pin is requested, it can't be requested again before it is freed by
-    previous caller, otherwise kernel will dump stacks, and the request
-    function fail.
-    These functions are wrapped by other functions, most of the users need not
-    care.
-
-
-3. But there are some exceptions
-    - Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested both as GPIO and GPIO
-    interrupt.
-    Some drivers, like gpio-keys, need this behavior. Kernel only print out
-    warning messages like,
-	bfin-gpio: GPIO 24 is already reserved by gpio-keys: BTN0, and you are
-configuring it as IRQ!
-
-        Note: Consider the case that, if there are two drivers need the
-	identical GPIO, one of them use it as GPIO, the other use it as
-	GPIO interrupt. This will really cause resource conflict. So if
-	there is any abnormal driver behavior, please check the bfin-gpio
-	warning messages.
-
-    - Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested from the same driver twice.

-SPI Chip Select behavior:
-
-With the Blackfin on-chip SPI peripheral, there is some logic tied to the CPHA
-bit whether the Slave Select Line is controlled by hardware (CPHA=0) or
-controlled by software (CPHA=1). However, the Linux SPI bus driver assumes that
-the Slave Select is always under software control and being asserted during
-the entire SPI transfer. - And not just bits_per_word duration.
-
-In most cases you can utilize SPI MODE_3 instead of MODE_0 to work-around this
-behavior. If your SPI slave device in question requires SPI MODE_0 or MODE_2
-timing, you can utilize the GPIO controlled SPI Slave Select option instead.
-In this case, you should use GPIO based CS for all of your slaves and not just
-the ones using mode 0 or 2 in order to guarantee correct CS toggling behavior.
-
-You can even use the same pin whose peripheral role is a SSEL,
-but use it as a GPIO instead.
