staging: vt6656: Remove unused driver
Forest Bond contributed this driver in 2009.
The following reasons lead to the removal:
- This driver generates maintenance workload
- This driver has a maximum 54MBit/s as it supports only 802.11 b/g.
Peak throughput is 3MBytes/s.
- ping times can be 17ms are often above 500ms and worst case 22 seconds.
One other user does not see such long ping times using a rasperry pi.
I suggest deleting the driver as it no longer meets current expectations
for throuput.
