Acked-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@...aro.org>

The story is something like this: U5500 used this, but was cancelled
and the silicon did not reach anyone outside ST-Ericsson.

Then for the next platforms, we have gone for the leaner & cleaner
approach of using virtio, rpmesg and rproc.

This can be safely deleted.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
