gpio: OF: Remove bad practice examples

We remove the references to anything but two-cell GPIO specifiers
and just mention that controllers need to specify their bindings
and that we strongly recommend two-cell bindings.

Note that gpio-specifier length is controller dependent. In the
above example, &gpio1 uses 2 cells to specify a gpio, while &gpio2
only uses one.
gpio-specifier may encode: bank, pin position inside the bank,
whether pin is open-drain and whether pin is logically inverted.
In the above example, &gpio1 uses 2 cells to specify a gpio. The first cell is
a local offset to the GPIO line and the second cell represent consumer flags,
such as if the consumer desire the line to be active low (inverted) or open
drain. This is the recommended practice.
Exact meaning of each specifier cell is controller specific, and must
be documented in the device tree binding for the device.

recommended to use the two-cell approach.
Most controllers are however specifying a generic flag bitfield
in the last cell, so for these, use the macros defined in
