drivers: misc: Remove MISC_DEVICES config option

MISC_DEVICES option alone does not select any kernel code and can cause dependency build warnings, such as:

warning: (KS8851 && AX88796_93CX6 && RTL8180 && RTL8187 && ADM8211 && RT2400PCI && RT2500PCI && RT61PCI && RT2800PCI && R8187SE) selects EEPROM_93CX6 which has unmet direct dependencies (MISC_DEVICES)

As the current drivers/misc/Kconfig stands, it is only possible to select the drivers below if MISC_DEVICES option is selected:

source "drivers/misc/c2port/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/eeprom/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/cb710/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/iwmc3200top/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/ti-st/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/lis3lv02d/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/carma/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/altera-stapl/Kconfig"

So remove MISC_DEVICES option so that nothing is dependant on it.
