Proposed deprecation of device-tree-gpio-naming.md

Hello,

In the comment thread at [1] I've proposed deprecating the directions
in device-tree-gpio-naming.md[2] for the purpose of describing GPIOs in
devicetrees. Devicetrees represent the hardware, and from experience
over time I think it's best that they reflect the information from the
schematics without influence from software implementation choices.

However, perhaps it's still a reasonable set of suggestions for
consumption of pins with the translation from net names done by the
applications themselves?

Please provide feedback!

Andrew
