The transitional helpers were removed a long time ago, but some
references stuck.  Remove them.

Fixes: 21ebe615c16994f3 ("drm: Remove transitional helpers")
Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>
---
It doesn't look like the drm_encoder_helper_funcs were ever used by the
transitional plane helpers?

The first paragraph starts with "This helper library has two parts.". As
you're dropping the mention of the second part, I think you should
rework the first paragraph too.

That was my initial thought, too.
However, the code still has a second part, not related to the topic of
the first part (primary plane support).

How about mentioning that in the comment then ?

Any suggestion about the wording?
The drm novice in me would write "The second part is not about
primary plane support" ;-)

Upon deeper investigation, all of this is related to primary plane
support. Will update...
