No one uses platform data anymore. We use linux/properties.h instead to give
named properties for this sort of thing. So the right thing to do would be to
create a proper devicetree binding for the chip to define the properties and
fix up the driver so that we can move it out of staging. Then the header file
would just be deleted as part of these changes when we stop using platform
data.

If you don't care about the driver and just want the TODO to go away, then
we can just delete the comment since it is no longer applicable. It doesn't
make sense to move the header out of staging without moving the rest of the
driver out of staging at the same time.
