Jean Delvare 3053075cea Documentation/serial: Delete obsolete driver documentation
These serial drivers were removed in kernel v3.1, so we can drop their
documentation files and references to their magic numbers and
parameters.

There are still references to these old drivers in
Documentation/devices.txt but I'm afraid they can't be removed.

Paul Gortmaker a786a7c0ad wanrouter: completely decouple obsolete code from kernel.
The original suggestion to delete wanrouter started earlier
with the mainline commit f0d1b3c2bc
("net/wanrouter: Deprecate and schedule for removal") in May 2012.

More importantly, Dan Carpenter found[1] that the driver had a
fundamental breakage introduced back in 2008, with commit
7be6065b39 ("netdevice wanrouter: Convert directly reference of
netdev->priv").  So we know with certainty that the code hasn't been
used by anyone willing to at least take the effort to send an e-mail
report of breakage for at least 4 years.

This commit does a decouple of the wanrouter subsystem, by going
after the Makefile/Kconfig and similar files, so that these mainline
files that we are keeping do not have the big wanrouter file/driver
deletion commit tied into their history.

Once this commit is in place, we then can remove the obsolete cyclomx
drivers and similar that have a dependency on CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS.

Paul Gortmaker 3396c7823e drivers/net: fix up stale paths from driver reorg
The reorganization of the driver layout in drivers/net
left behind some stale paths in comments and in Kconfig
help text.  Bring them up to date.  No actual change to
any code takes place here.
