drivers/net: delete old parallel port de600/de620 drivers

The parallel port is largely replaced by USB, and even in the
day where these drivers were current, the documented speed was
less than 100kB/s.  Let us not pretend that anyone cares about
these drivers anymore, or worse - pretend that anyone is using
them on a modern kernel.

As a side bonus, this is the end of legacy parallel port ethernet,
so we get to drop the whole chunk relating to that in the legacy
Space.c file containing the non-PCI unified probe dispatch.

-        1. INTRODUCTION.
-
-        This is a set of Ethernet drivers for the D-Link DE-600/DE-620
-        pocket adapters, for the parallel port on a Linux based machine.
-        Some adapter "clones" will also work.  Xircom is _not_ a clone...
-        These drivers _can_ be used as loadable modules,
-        and were developed for use on Linux 1.1.13 and above.
-        For use on Linux 1.0.X, or earlier releases, see below.
-
-        I have used these drivers for NFS, ftp, telnet and X-clients on
-        remote machines. Transmissions with ftp seems to work as
-        good as can be expected (i.e. > 80k bytes/sec) from a
-        parallel port...:-)  Receive speeds will be about 60-80% of this.
-        Depending on your machine, somewhat higher speeds can be achieved.
-

-        3. FILES IN THIS RELEASE.
-
-        README.DLINK  This file.
-        de600.c       The Source (may it be with You :-) for the DE-600
-        de620.c       ditto for the DE-620
-        de620.h       Macros for de620.c
-
-        If you are upgrading from the d-link tar release, there will
-        also be a "dlink-patches" file that will patch Linux 1.1.18:
-                linux/drivers/net/Makefile
-                linux/drivers/net/CONFIG
-                linux/drivers/net/MODULES
-                linux/drivers/net/Space.c
-                linux/config.in
-        Apply the patch by:
-        "cd /usr/src; patch -p0 < linux/drivers/net/dlink-patches"
-        The old source, "linux/drivers/net/d_link.c", can be removed.
-
-
-        4. INSTALLATION.
-
-        o Get the latest net binaries, according to current net.wisdom.
-
-        o Read the NET-2 and Ethernet HOWTOs and modify your setup.
-
-        o If your parallel port has a strange address or irq,
-          modify "linux/drivers/net/CONFIG" accordingly, or adjust
-          the parameters in the "tuning" section in the sources.
-
-        If you are going to use the drivers as loadable modules, do _not_
-        enable them while doing "make config", but instead make sure that
-        the drivers are included in "linux/drivers/net/MODULES".
-
-        If you are _not_ going to use the driver(s) as loadable modules,
-        but instead have them included in the kernel, remember to enable
-        the drivers while doing "make config".
-
-        o To include networking and DE600/DE620 support in your kernel:
-          # cd /linux
-          (as modules:)
-          #  make config (answer yes on CONFIG_NET and CONFIG_INET)
-          (else included in the kernel:)
-          #  make config (answer yes on CONFIG _NET, _INET and _DE600 or _DE620)
-          # make clean
-          # make zImage (or whatever magic you usually do)
-
-        o I use lilo to boot multiple kernels, so that I at least
-          can have one working kernel :-). If you do too, append
-          these lines to /etc/lilo/config:
-
-                image = /linux/zImage
-                label = newlinux
-                root = /dev/hda2 (or whatever YOU have...)
-
-          # /etc/lilo/install
-
-        o Do "sync" and reboot the new kernel with a D-Link
-          DE-600/DE-620 pocket adapter connected.
-
-        o The adapter can be configured with ifconfig eth?
-          where the actual number is decided by the kernel
-          when the drivers are initialized.
-
-
-        5. "PROBLEMS" AND TUNING,
-
-        o If you see error messages from the driver, and if the traffic
-          stops on the adapter, try to do "ifconfig" and "route" once
-          more, just as in "rc.inet1".  This should take care of most
-          problems, including effects from power loss, or adapters that
-          aren't connected to the printer port in some way or another.
-          You can somewhat change the behaviour by enabling/disabling
-          the macro  SHUTDOWN_WHEN_LOST  in the "tuning" section.
-          For the DE-600 there is another macro, CHECK_LOST_DE600,
-          that you might want to read about in the "tuning" section.
-
-        o Some machines have trouble handling the parallel port and
-          the adapter at high speed. If you experience problems:
-
-          DE-600:
-          - The adapter is not recognized at boot, i.e. an Ethernet
-            address of 00:80:c8:... is not shown, try to add another
-              "; SLOW_DOWN_IO"
-            at DE600_SLOW_DOWN in the "tuning" section. As a last resort,
-            uncomment: "#define REALLY_SLOW_IO" (see <asm/io.h> for hints).
-
-          - You experience "timeout" messages: first try to add another
-              "; SLOW_DOWN_IO"
-            at DE600_SLOW_DOWN in the "tuning" section, _then_ try to
-            increase the value (original value: 5) at
-            "if (tickssofar < 5)" near line 422.
-
-          DE-620:
-          - Your parallel port might be "sluggish".  To cater for
-            this, there are the macros LOWSPEED and READ_DELAY/WRITE_DELAY
-            in the "tuning" section. Your first step should be to enable
-            LOWSPEED, and after that you can "tune" the XXX_DELAY values.
-
-        o If the adapter _is_ recognized at boot but you get messages
-          about "Network Unreachable", then the problem is probably
-          _not_ with the driver.  Check your net configuration instead
-          (ifconfig and route) in "rc.inet1".
-
-        o There is some rudimentary support for debugging, look at
-          the source. Use "-DDE600_DEBUG=3" or "-DDE620_DEBUG=3"
-          when compiling, or include it in "linux/drivers/net/CONFIG".
-          IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS YOU CAN'T SOLVE: PLEASE COMPILE THE DRIVER
-          WITH DEBUGGING ENABLED, AND SEND ME THE RESULTING OUTPUT!
-
-
-        6. USING THE DRIVERS WITH EARLIER RELEASES.
-
-        The later 1.1.X releases of the Linux kernel include some
-        changes in the networking layer (a.k.a. NET3). This affects
-        these drivers in a few places.  The hints that follow are
-        _not_ tested by me, since I don't have the disk space to keep
-        all releases on-line.
-        Known needed changes to date:
-        - release patchfile: some patches will fail, but they should
-          be easy to apply "by hand", since they are trivial.
-          (Space.c: d_link_init() is now called de600_probe())
-        - de600.c: change  "mark_bh(NET_BH)" to  "mark_bh(INET_BH)".
-        - de620.c: (maybe) change the code around "netif_rx(skb);" to be
-                   similar to the code around "dev_rint(...)" in de600.c

-        7. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
-
-        These drivers wouldn't have been done without the base
-        (and support) from Ross Biro, and D-Link Systems Inc.
-        The driver relies upon GPL-ed source from D-Link Systems Inc.
-        and from Russel Nelson at Crynwr Software <nelson@crynwr.com>.
