Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] vlynq: remove bus driver

From: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@...g-engineering.com>

There are no users with a vlynq_driver in the Kernel tree. So, remove
the bus driver which hardly has seen any activity since 2009. It was
even marked EXPERIMENTAL as long as that symbol existed. OpenWRT had
some out-of-tree drivers which they probably intended to upport, but AR7
devices are not supported anymore because they are "stuck with Kernel
3.18" [1]. So, this code can go nowadays.
