Subject: [PATCH] drivers: misc: Remove MISC_DEVICES config option

MISC_DEVICES option alone does not select any kernel code and can cause dependency build warnings, such as:

warning: (KS8851 && AX88796_93CX6 && RTL8180 && RTL8187 && ADM8211 && RT2400PCI && RT2500PCI && RT61PCI && RT2800PCI && R8187SE) selects EEPROM_93CX6 which has unmet direct dependencies (MISC_DEVICES)

Remove MISC_DEVICES option so that any dependency on this symbol is avoided.
