Hi Arnd,

So this has been on my mind for a while now. I no longer have working hw
for c6x and TI hasn't been forthcoming with replacements. I'm totally fine
with removing it from mainline. In any case, I'm not really in a position
to go forward as maintainer.

Ok, let's remove it then. I'm happy to take patches through my
asm-generic tree. If someone shows up later that does have an
interest in the platform for future kernels, I'll drop the branch or
revert it after it gets merged.

       Arnd
