The COPS Appletalk support is very old, never said to actually work

wan: remove sbni/granch driver

The driver was merged in 1999 and has only ever seen treewide cleanups
since then, with no indication whatsoever that anyone has actually
had access to hardware for testing the patches.

>From the information in the link below, it appears that the hardware
is for some leased line system in Russia that has since been
discontinued, and useless without any remote end to connect to.

As the driver still feels like a Linux-2.2 era artifact today, it
appears that the best way forward is to just delete it.

There are six m68k specific drivers that use the legacy probe method
in drivers/net/Space.c. However, all of these only support a single
device, and they completely ignore the command line settings from
netdev_boot_setup_check, so there is really no point at all.

Aside from sun3_82586, these already have a module_init function that
can be used for built-in mode as well, simply by removing the #ifdef.

Note that the 82596 driver was previously used on ISA as well, but
that got dropped long ago.

cs89x0: rework driver configuration

There are two drivers in the cs89x0 file, with the CONFIG_CS89x0_PLATFORM
symbol deciding which one is getting built. This is somewhat confusing
and makes it more likely ton configure a driver that works nowhere.

Split up the Kconfig option into separate ISA and PLATFORM drivers,
with the ISA symbol explicitly connecting to the static probing in
drivers/net/Space.c

The two drivers are still mutually incompatible at compile time,
which could be lifted by splitting them into multiple files,
but in practice this will make no difference.

The platform driver can now be enabled for compile-testing on
non-ARM machines.

drivers/net: delete old x86 variant of the seeq8005 driver

The last update to the Ethernet HowTo (over 10 years ago) listed this:

------------------------
SEEQ 8005

Status: Obsolete, Driver Name: seeq8005

There is little information about the card included in the driver,
and hence little information to be put here. If you have a question,
you are probably best trying to e-mail the driver author as listed
in the source.

It was marked obsolete as of the 2.4 series kernels.
------------------------

If it was obsolete over a decade ago, the situation can not have
improved with the passage of time, so let us act on that. Even with
today's improved search engines, I was unable to locate any real
meaningful information on the ISA implementation of this rare chip.

There are ARM and SGI variants of the driver in tree, but they do
not depend on the original x86 driver source or header file. We
leave those non-x86 drivers to be deleted by the arch maintainers
when they decide to expire those legacy platforms as a whole.

drivers/net: delete the really obsolete 8390 based 10Mbit ISA drivers

This is an area I know all too well, after being author of several 8390
drivers, and maintainer of all 8390 drivers during a large part of their
active lifecycle.

To that end, I can say this with a reasonable degree of confidence.
The drivers deleted here represent the earliest (as in early 1990)
hardware and/or rare hardware. The remaining hardware not deleted
here is the more modern/sane of the lot, with ISA-PnP and jumperless
"soft configuration" like the wd and smc cards had.

The original ne2000 driver (ne.c) gets a pass at this time since
AT/LANTIC based cards that could be both ne2000 or wd-like (with
shared memory) and with jumperless configuration were made in the
mid to late 1990's, and performed reasonably well for their era.

These cards were only available in 8bit format, and in addition

In fact, they are so rare, that an internet search on these old
cards almost comes up empty, unless the "Micom interlan" name
is used.

This puts them in the equivalent domain as the 3c501, so there
should be no strong opposition to the driver removal, as nobody
is seriously using 3.9+ with 8 bit ISA hardware.

In doing so, the whole "ethernet/racal" category becomes empty,
so we clean up the Makefile/Kconfig and subdir appropriately.
