These were usually used before the conversion to devm_ functions, so that the remove hook would be able to retrieve the pointer and do cleanups on remove. When the conversion happened, they should have been removed, but were omitted. Some drivers were copied from drivers that fit the criteria described above. In any case, in order to prevent more drivers from being used as example (and have spi_set_drvdata() needlessly set), this change removes it from the IIO IMU group.
