Staging: delete generic_serial drivers 



No one has steped up to claim them, so as described in commit
4c377058 (tty: move obsolete and broken
generic_serial drivers to drivers/staging/generic_serial/), they are now
deleted from the system.

config A2232

	tristate "Commodore A2232 serial support (EXPERIMENTAL)"

	depends on EXPERIMENTAL && ZORRO && BROKEN

	---help---

	  This option supports the 2232 7-port serial card shipped with the

	  Amiga 2000 and other Zorro-bus machines, dating from 1989.  At

	  a max of 19,200 bps, the ports are served by a 6551 ACIA UART chip

	  each, plus a 8520 CIA, and a master 6502 CPU and buffer as well. The

	  ports were connected with 8 pin DIN connectors on the card bracket,

	  for which 8 pin to DB25 adapters were supplied. The card also had

	  jumpers internally to toggle various pinning configurations.



	  This driver can be built as a module; but then "generic_serial"

	  will also be built as a module. This has to be loaded before

	  "ser_a2232". If you want to do this, answer M here.



config SX

	tristate "Specialix SX (and SI) card support"

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

	help

	  This is a driver for the SX and SI multiport serial cards.

	  Please read the file <file:Documentation/serial/sx.txt> for details.



	  This driver can only be built as a module ( = code which can be

	  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).

	  The module will be called sx. If you want to do that, say M here.



config RIO

	tristate "Specialix RIO system support"

	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && BROKEN

	help

	  This is a driver for the Specialix RIO, a smart serial card which

	  drives an outboard box that can support up to 128 ports.  Product

	  information is at <http://www.perle.com/support/documentation.html#multiport>.

	  There are both ISA and PCI versions.



config RIO_OLDPCI

	bool "Support really old RIO/PCI cards"

	depends on RIO

	help

	  Older RIO PCI cards need some initialization-time configuration to

	  determine the IRQ and some control addresses.  If you have a RIO and

	  this doesn't seem to work, try setting this to Y.

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.
