usb: auerswald: remove driver (obsolete)
This patch removes the auerswald USB driver from the linux kernel
2.6.26.
This driver was included into the kernel mainly to connect to the ISDN
framework. This was done in linux 2.4.x. For 2.6.x, due to the fragile
and moving ISDN support, this connection was never realized, and the
only use of this driver was for device configuration. In the age of DSL,
the demand of ISDN support is getting very low.
Meanwhile, with the advent of libusb, an userspace driver was done for
the device configuration which works fine for linux and mac. (Thanks to
the libusb developers!). The userspace driver is downloadable from the
auerswald web site.
So this driver is obsolete now and has to be removed. Many thanks to all
developers which helped me to bring this driver up and working.
