usb: ftdi-elan: Delete driver 



This driver didn't see real maintainance since several years. It has
several trivial issues (check $(scripts/checkpatch.pl -f
drivers/usb/misc/ftdi-elan.c)) and some harder ones (difficult locking,
explict kref handling, ...). Also today it's hard to find hardware to
make actually use of such a card and I suspect the driver is completely
unused.

So remove it.

config USB_FTDI_ELAN

	help

	  ELAN's Uxxx series of adapters are USB to PCMCIA CardBus adapters.

	  Currently only the U132 adapter is available.



	  The U132 is specifically designed for CardBus PC cards that contain

	  an OHCI host controller. Typical PC cards are the Orange Mobile 3G

	  Option GlobeTrotter Fusion card. The U132 adapter will *NOT* work

	  with PC cards that do not contain an OHCI controller. To use a U132

	  adapter you will need this "ftdi-elan" module as well as the "u132-hcd"

	  module which is a USB host controller driver that talks to the OHCI

	  controller within CardBus card that are inserted in the U132 adapter.



	  This driver has been tested with a CardBus OHCI USB adapter, and

	  worked with a USB PEN Drive inserted into the first USB port of

	  the PCCARD. A rather pointless thing to do, but useful for testing.



	  It is safe to say M here.
