hte: tegra194: improve the GPIO-related comment

Using any of the GPIO interfaces using the global numberspace is
deprecated. Make it clear in the comment.

/*
* GPIO consumers can access GPIOs in two ways:
*
* There are two paths GPIO consumers can take as follows:
* 1) The consumer (gpiolib-cdev for example) which uses GPIO global
* number which gets assigned run time.
* 2) The consumer passing GPIO from the DT which is assigned
* statically for example by using TEGRA194_AON_GPIO gpio DT binding.
* 1) Using the global GPIO numberspace.
*
* This is the old, now DEPRECATED method and should not be used in
* new code. TODO: Check if tegra is even concerned by this.
*
* 2) Using GPIO descriptors that can be assigned to consumer devices
* using device-tree, ACPI or lookup tables.
*
* The code below addresses both the consumer use cases and maps into
* HTE/GTE namespace.
