dm: gpio: Add a comment about not copying some drivers
These three drivers all use U_BOOT_DEVICE rather than device tree to create devices, so have to do manual allocation of platform data. This is not true for new platforms. Add a more explicit comment so that people do not copy this approach with new boards. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reported-by: Adam Ford <aford173@gmail.com>
