Hi!

Thomas suggested that it may be nice to create some form of a record
for drivers which were retired from the tree. I think a code-centric
equivalent of CREDITS could be a good idea.

Does such a record already exist somewhere? If not any thoughts on
creating a file storing (Kconfig, short description, commit which
removed the driver)? E.g.


K: DMASCC
D: Hamradio high-speed (DMA) SCC driver for AX.25. Driver supported
D: Ottawa PI/PI2, Paccomm/Gracilis D: PackeTwin, and S5SCC/DMA boards.
C: 865e2eb08f51


I have no idea how to name such a file.
