    drivers/net: delete old x86 variant of the seeq8005 driver · 463d413c

    The last update to the Ethernet HowTo (over 10 years ago) listed this:
    
     ------------------------
       SEEQ 8005
    
       Status: Obsolete, Driver Name: seeq8005
    
       There is little information about the card included in the driver,
       and hence little information to be put here. If you have a question,
       you are probably best trying to e-mail the driver author as listed
       in the source.
    
       It was marked obsolete as of the 2.4 series kernels.
     ------------------------
    
    If it was obsolete over a decade ago, the situation can not have
    improved with the passage of time, so let us act on that.  Even with
    today's improved search engines, I was unable to locate any real
    meaningful information on the ISA implementation of this rare chip.
    
    There are ARM and SGI variants of the driver in tree, but they do
    not depend on the original x86 driver source or header file.  We
    leave those non-x86 drivers to be deleted by the arch maintainers
    when they decide to expire those legacy platforms as a whole.
