Staging: delete tty drivers 



Delete the drivers/staging/tty drivers as no one has wanted to step up
and maintain and fix them.  This was discussed in commit
4a6514e6 (tty: move obsolete and broken
tty drivers to drivers/staging/tty/)

config STALLION

	tristate "Stallion EasyIO or EC8/32 support"

	depends on STALDRV && (ISA || EISA || PCI)

	help

	  If you have an EasyIO or EasyConnection 8/32 multiport Stallion

	  card, then this is for you; say Y.  Make sure to read

	  <file:Documentation/serial/stallion.txt>.



	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

	  module will be called stallion.



config ISTALLION

	tristate "Stallion EC8/64, ONboard, Brumby support"

	depends on STALDRV && (ISA || EISA || PCI)

	help

	  If you have an EasyConnection 8/64, ONboard, Brumby or Stallion

	  serial multiport card, say Y here. Make sure to read

	  <file:Documentation/serial/stallion.txt>.



	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

	  module will be called istallion.



config DIGIEPCA

	tristate "Digiboard Intelligent Async Support"

	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (ISA || EISA || PCI)

	---help---

	  This is a driver for Digi International's Xx, Xeve, and Xem series

	  of cards which provide multiple serial ports. You would need

	  something like this to connect more than two modems to your Linux

	  box, for instance in order to become a dial-in server. This driver

	  supports the original PC (ISA) boards as well as PCI, and EISA. If

	  you have a card like this, say Y here and read the file

	  <file:Documentation/serial/digiepca.txt>.



	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

	  module will be called epca.



config RISCOM8

	tristate "SDL RISCom/8 card support"

	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD

	help

	  This is a driver for the SDL Communications RISCom/8 multiport card,

	  which gives you many serial ports. You would need something like

	  this to connect more than two modems to your Linux box, for instance

	  in order to become a dial-in server. If you have a card like that,

	  say Y here and read the file <file:Documentation/serial/riscom8.txt>.



	  Also it's possible to say M here and compile this driver as kernel

	  loadable module; the module will be called riscom8.



config SPECIALIX

	tristate "Specialix IO8+ card support"

	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD

	help

	  This is a driver for the Specialix IO8+ multiport card (both the

	  ISA and the PCI version) which gives you many serial ports. You

	  would need something like this to connect more than two modems to

	  your Linux box, for instance in order to become a dial-in server.



	  If you have a card like that, say Y here and read the file

	  <file:Documentation/serial/specialix.txt>. Also it's possible to say

	  M here and compile this driver as kernel loadable module which will be

	  called specialix.



config COMPUTONE

	tristate "Computone IntelliPort Plus serial support"

	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (ISA || EISA || PCI)

	---help---

	  This driver supports the entire family of Intelliport II/Plus

	  controllers with the exception of the MicroChannel controllers and

	  products previous to the Intelliport II. These are multiport cards,

	  which give you many serial ports. You would need something like this

	  to connect more than two modems to your Linux box, for instance in

	  order to become a dial-in server. If you have a card like that, say

	  Y here and read <file:Documentation/serial/computone.txt>.



	  To compile this driver as module, choose M here: the

	  module will be called ip2.



config SERIAL167

	bool "CD2401 support for MVME166/7 serial ports"

	depends on MVME16x

	help

	  This is the driver for the serial ports on the Motorola MVME166,

	  167, and 172 boards.  Everyone using one of these boards should say

	  Y here.

These are a few tty/serial drivers that either do not build,

or work if they do build, or if they seem to work, are for obsolete

hardware, or are full of unfixable races and no one uses them anymore.



If no one steps up to adopt any of these drivers, they will be removed

in the 2.6.41 release.
