The one reason I can think of for removing them is that we don't
want ambient light sensor drivers in drivers/misc any more and
instead of adding DT probing code would also expect new users to
migrate to drivers/iio/light/, which already has drivers for
apds9300 and apds9960 but not apds990x, as well as bh1750 and
bh1780 but not bh1770.
