The last mentions of this driver on local Linux and telco support forums
date back to 2011. This does not prove that no users remain, but the
likelihood is too low to justify continuing to carry the driver in the
kernel.

The maintainer agreed that the driver should be removed and noted that it
is simple enough to build as an external module if a user resurfaces [1].

Remove the driver along with its Kconfig, defconfig, build and MAINTAINERS
entries.
