Conversion of the old orion5x board files to devicetree has
stalled over the past few years, so it seems better to remove
the remaining ones in order to allow  cleaning up the device
drivers.

Debian has previously removed the orion/kirkwood kernel
binary from the armel distro, but building custom kernels
from the Debian source code should keep working, so
removing the board files after the 6.12 release ensures
that this remains possible for the Debian Trixie release,
assuming this will use the 6.12 LTS kernel.

Jeremy Peper still plans to convert the Terastation 2 Pro
to devicetree in the future, but that can be done even
after it is removed.
