Subject: [PATCH] mark sk98lin driver for removal

From: Stephen Hemminger <[email-masked]>

The sk98lin driver is now superseded by the skge driver. I wanted to just
let the old driver wither and die from old age, but there are still bugs
that are too painful to fix.

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6780
The board crashes repeatedly after 2 weeks. It probably is something
in the vendor MIB code. That code is a mess, and starting over was one
of the motivations for creating the skge driver.

So rather than add more bondo to the old beater to cover the rusty bits,
throw it in the dustbin.
