char/mwave: drop it
When I tried to clean up the driver a bit, Arnd noted:
> According to thinkwiki.de, the 3780i modem was only used in a
> couple of Thinkpad models that are now over 25 years old, using
> Pentium II processors, and they all have a physical RS232 port
> that can be used to connect an external modem instead.
>
> Maybe we can just retire this driver?
So instead of the clean up, drop the driver altogether.
