This patch removes the video driver for pnx4008. The architecture is being
removed via the arm-soc tree.

Applied as it doesn't make sense to keep it around if there is no
architecture left that can use it. Though I didn't get any technical
reason why the architecture is removed at all, just reasons why it might
be okay to do so. But it doesn't matter as I don't have to decide this
anyway.
Right, there are no formal technical reasons, except that we are forward
porting this architecture+video driver for years now without any
indication that the changes were actually tested successfully. No known
current users, even in the development community. And it takes resources
developing the related architecture lpc32xx because of drivers shared
between the two.

Thanks,

Roland
