[PATCH 0/2] media: bcm2835-unicam: remove mentions to dropped driver

[Gaston Gonzalez]

The driver bcm2835-camera was dropped in commit <90204a38a760>, but it is still
mentioned as a current driver in a comment and in Kconfig help text in
bcm2835-unicam driver.

Remove these two references to the dropped driver.

My bad, I missed the non-code mentions of bcm2835-camera while dropping it.
