We are using the spear-adc driver, which is out of staging
in ./drivers/iio/adc/spear_adc.c. So rather than removing its DT binding
entirely, it should be moved out of staging.

I'm not using the LPC32xx ADC, but the IIO driver is also out of
staging, so for the same reason, it would be strange to remove the DT
binding.

Best regards,

Thomas
