AR7 is going to be removed from the Kernel, so remove its networking
support in form of the cpmac driver. This allows us to remove the
platform because this driver includes a platform specific header.

is it ok for network people to route this patch via mips-next tree
or do you want to apply to net-next ?

We have a ".remove callback should return void" conversion from Uwe
queued for the deleted driver (231ea972ccaf5b). The conflict will be
really trivial, but I guess no conflict beats trivial conflict so better
if we take it? :S
